When I try installing rails using gem install Rails I get
"ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org - timed out (https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)"
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I googled and tried several solutions but they didn't work. For example, I tried changing the source of gem to be http://rubygems.org instead of using https but I get the same error.
I'm not sure what caused this error. I have rails installed on my other computer but for some reason that too doesn't work. It has a problem fetching data from https://rubygems.org and http://rubygems.org
Seems like I had to use a VPN to fix my problem. I'm not sure why my network is blocking access to https://rubygems.org but it works now.
I have a new install of Ubuntu 18.04. I am trying to install everything I need for Ruby on Rails, but whenever I use the gem command I get a timeout error, like this:
chris#linuxbox:~/Sites$ gem install bundler
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - timed out (https://api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
But if I paste that URL into my browser, I get the file right away!
Why can't I connect from the command line?

I'm trying to install rails on a new computer and am running to the following command issue:
gem install rails
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 0), here is why:
Unable to download data from http://gems.rubyforge.org/ -SSL_connect reuterned=1 error=0 state=SSLv2/v3 read server hello A: Unknown protocol (http://gems.rubyforge.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
Make sure you are using the latest rvm than you can update your certificates and rubygems. Or just use the non-ssl source.
I try to install rails but I am faced to the following error.
Has somebody any idea how to resolve it ?

First try to update ruby gems.
gem update --system
The issue most likely is with your internet connection.
If you see this issue again, try
gem install rails --source http://rubygems.org
You can add the not https source permanently like this
gem sources -a http://rubygems.org
Do you want to add this insecure source? [yn]y
I want to give you one more tip:
Don't develop rails on windows. Ruby and rails and many gems are very UNIXy in their ways. Install virtualbox and ubuntu on a virtual machine and run you development for there.
You might have proxy in your system. So use sudo http_proxy=http://host:port gem install rails.
I had the same issue but I ran the "Start command prompt with Ruby" as an administrator and tried the gem install rails and it worked.
I had to run 'gem install' as root to get this to work. I.e. 'sudo', which is less than ideal.
I suspect 'gem' has very poor error reporting and doesn't communicate the real cause from a permissions issue deep down the stack.
In my country for some strange reason rubygems.org domain is blocked. So a vpn was the solution for me.
My problem was I had configured a proxy in my network connection as #theBuzzyCoder said, so I simply changed my connection and it worked, I could install my gem (sass in my case)
