Hi,
How do I configure my rails app for a custom gems directory ? My hosting tells me that I need to add this to my scripts : $:.push(“/home/concptpl/ruby/gems”)
But that seems to be for independent ruby scripts, how to I configure rails accordingly ?
Thanks & Regards, Dhruva Sagar.

If a user does not have access to the standard installation location (typically /usr/local/lib/ruby), then they have the option of installing RubyGems in a alternate location.
Note that if you can’t install RubyGems in the standard location, then you probably can’t install gems in the standard gem repository location either. You need to specifiy a non-standard gem repository location via the GEM_HOME environment variable.
Use the following to install RubyGems in a user directory (here called /home/mystuff) with a repository named /home/mygemrepository):
$ export GEM_HOME=/home/mygemrepository
