The reference to rubygems.org is out of date. Here's what my gem env (or `gem sources --list`) returns:

  - REMOTE SOURCES:      - http://gems.github.com/      - http://gemcutter.org/

You can add them (and remove the no longer operative one) from the command line; for more info

gem help sources

HTH,

Hassan,

rubygems.org is (again) the definitive source:

http://update.gemcutter.org/2010/02/20/rubygems-org-move-complete.html

gemcutter.org redirects to rubygems.org.

Ah, crap. Guess I missed that memo :slight_smile:

Never mind, then, and sorry for the noise.

I know that sounds trivial, and the thread is two weeks old, but are you sure you are connected to the Internet during that tests? It took me yesterday 2 hours to find that problem on my local staging environment. Due to configuration problems I could connect via ssh and remote control, but my network did not route requests from the staging to the Internet, the just got lost.

Actually it wasn't trivial. It helped me :0)

After the RubyGem/Bundler update mess yesterday, I was afraid there was yet another problem with my set up. Turns out my Time Machine's 5 GHz network was insanely unstable and caused the error. If it weren't for your post, I would have spent hours searching for the problem (as I'm a Rails newbie). A big thank you to you Mr. Melzer is in order, so "Thank you!"

It seems the problem is already solved, as noted in the external source: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/264228

It was a network problem.
