Hello everyone, I recently picked up the Agile web dev with Rail book and followed the installation instructions for Windows using InstantRails... well it works up until the point i try to......
'gem update rails --include-dependencies'
..... i end up with the following error message:
pdating installed gems... ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError) A Request to send ro recieve data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending a datagam socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied. (Errno::ENOTCONN) getting size of http://gem.rubyforge.org/Marsha1.4.8
hmmm don't really know what all that means.. there isn't a firewall blocking it.. so i tried the RubyonRails.org method of installation and i was able to progress as far as installing gems.......
'gem install rails --include-dependencies -v'
........i get this error message:
ERROR: http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository ERROR: could not find gem rails locally or in a repository.
now i can ping gems.rubyforge.org.. i see the firewall allowing ruby to go out to this address yet gem doesn't seem to have any luck gettin out to the net.
4 hours of searching thought manuals, docs, forums, tutorials and various blogs on http proxy, im still at a loss. The firewall was turned off completely and still no change, i just uninstalled hamachi just incase.. no change.. I'm behind a netgear router im not sure if that is a factor or not.
Any help or insight to this situation would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
My OS: Windows XP pro, SP1.
