It sounds like your app was written using rails 1.2.x. I think you should try loading InstantRails 1.7 (which has that version of rails) and make sure you can run the app on that and then you can try to port the app to rails 2.0 which is on IR 2.x. You can have both versions of IR installed (but not running) on you system without any problem. Just install under unique names. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
