Anyone had success at this? Even if I manually download the 1.1 gem file, the “gem install rails” command gives me “ERROR: Error installing gem rails[.gem]: rails requires activesupport = 1.3.0” ---

John, To update an Instant Rails app to 1.1 - select your app in ‘manage rails apps’ and then click ‘Create New Rails App (open console window)’ button. This launches the console and sets the paths to point to instant rails version of ruby, rake etc. - update rake to version 7: gem update rake - update rails to 1.1: rake rails:free:edge REVISION=4091 Hammed On 3/29/06, John L.

I successfully did this yesterday, too. I also had to update some other gems I am using and I also used the “–include-dependencies” (if I remember the option correctly…) for “gem update”, so I didn’t have to answer lots of prompts. dean On 3/29/06, Hammed M.

Sometime in the next week or so we will be releasing Instant Rails 1.1 which will include Rails 1.1. Curt
