Hello,

on my Company-Computer i`ve Rails 1.0 installed. Now i want to update to Rails 1.1.2, but there`s no chance to do this with gem because of a new  
Firewall.

Is there any way to update to Rails 1.1.2 manually?

Thank you

Thorsten

Yep. You download each gem pacakge from rubyforge, and install it. Start  
by  
downloading rails1.1.2.gem, type in gem install rails  
–include-dependencies, check the error message (“rails requires  
activeXXX”), download the dependencie activeXXX, install, …

Hi Nicolas,

i did it as you wrote and after installation of each gem i executed  
rails -v. Every time Rails told me which package was missing. After  
installing each gem Rails -v printed Rails 1.1.2

I think it works.

Thank you!
