You should not install rails from the Ubuntu repository. It is usually an older version. Just install ruby, install rubygems, then do a gem install rails. It should be on 3.0.
Also, you most surely doesn't need Apache to try it out. Once everything is set up on rails 3, just go to your app and write 'rails server'. It should fire a server on http://localhost:3000/ On Tue, Nov 2, 2010 at 22:15, Walter Lee Davis <[email protected]> wrote: > Check your path, and see if gem is in it.
