Install and Upgrade Ruby from 1.8.7 to 1.9.x with rails 3.2.x

[ITGabs]

Hi,

I had ruby 1.8.7 2013 (deprecated) and rails 3.2.x
after some recommendations in this forum, I executed this script to upgrade ruby

/scripts/installruby

There was a problem and the script asked me to downgrade rails to 2.3.18

I tried others scripts

gem update rails
/usr/local/cpanel/bin/ror_setup
gem install fastthread
gem update --system

but the result now is ruby 1.8.7 2013 (no upgrade at all) and rails 2.3.18 downgrade!!

why I can't upgrade Ruby? seems that is looked by cPanel to work with old versions?

I need 1.9.x and rails 3.2.x it's possible?

Hello

There is no native support for Rails 3.x at this time, however it's planned for the future. This is discussed in the following thread:

Ruby Update

You may also find the following thread helpful:

Rails 3.x Workaround

Thank you.

Thank you Michael!

Great info, the workaround is exactly what I need

this made me laugh http://forums.cpanel.net/f442/they-say-ruby-youre-like-dream-357671.html#post1631492

I found strange that Ruby had so little support, I hope the cPanel team release the native support soon.

Thanks!

Finally I used this guide to install ruby and rails (note that this is for a standalone redmine install) Install Redmine 25x on Centos 65 complete - Redmine but the part related to ruby works ok

I didn't use the script /scripts/installruby since all the time I need to delete libs or be forced to use the old ones so I started after I removed everything related to Ruby on rails

I am using ruby 1.9.x with the latest rail 4.x and the latest passenger, I am currently have two installs of redmine 2.3.x and 2.5.x I will try a install of clockingit.

Sure the cPanel support of Ruby is not working in my server but I am using git and redmine as core apps
