Error in checking rails version on ubuntu 10.04 - ruby-on-rails

I installed ruby and rails on my ubuntu 10.04 system.While checking rails version it gave me error like this below.
$ rails -v
getopt: invalid option -- 'v'
Terminating...
What is wrong with the rails?Thanks in advance.
I installed rails using gem.
I followed the instructions from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-ruby-on-rails-on-ubuntu-12-04-lts-precise-pangolin-with-rvm

check this link http://community.activestate.com/faq/running-rails-debian
Turns out rails -v only works in version 2.3.x and upwards. I suspect you have an older version that is being used even while a newer gem is available, which is what was happening in my system.
To solve I deleted the following:
usr/share/rails
usr/bin/rails - this is the generator script that keeps screwing up
Uninstall Rails with 'sudo gem uninstall rails' and reinstall again.
That solved my problem.
Warning it might break your system and possibly cause weather change patterns in or around Southeast Asia. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Getting Rails 1.1.2 server running on Mac script/server

So I'm a rails developer familiar with Rails 3 and 4. I'm taking on a Rails 1.1.2 project, and the first problem I'm having is getting the server running.
I'd really love some help figuring out what I'm missing setting up the environment. When I run script/server, I get:
-bash: script/server: /Users/michael/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p545: bad interpreter: Permission denied
This is after noting that at the top of the script/server file, there's an opportunity to define the location of the ruby install with a ruby comment:
#!/Users/michael/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p545
At least, this is how I understand it. What should this comment point to? Does this look correct? I've installed ruby 1.9.3 using rvm and installed rails V 1.1.2 through sudo gem install rails. Everything seemed to work fine.
Is this some kind of bash permissions issue? I really don't understand what's going on. Any help would be appreciated!
I believe a rails project that old will require Ruby 1.8.7, so you should start with an older version of Ruby just to be sure. Once you get it running with the older ruby version, you can try 1.9 again, but trying it with 1.8.7 should help you out a bit. Your shebang should be able to do this though:
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
It needs the path of the ruby interpreter, which can be obtained dynamically via the above line.

Update rails app to ruby 2.0.0 bundler error

I started a Heroku Rails app using Ruby 1.9.3 and Rails 4.0.1.
I decided soon after to update my ruby version to 2.0.0 as this apparently works better with Rails 4.0.1. So, I installed the ruby2.0 package using apt-get and other associated packages, then I set ruby 2.0.0 as the default using sudo ruby-switch --set ruby2.0, finally I updated the Gemfile in my app, changing the line ruby '1.9.3' to ruby '2.0.0' Now, when I run bundle install I am presented with this error, and I don't know why...
Your Ruby version is 1.9.3, but your Gemfile specified 2.0.0
Following this heroku guide didn't seem to help... I set the path to what is shown there and it didn't seem change anything. Maybe I am being stupid and there is something in that path that I need to replace something with information specific to my machine? I feel like the part where I set vendor/bundle/ruby/2.0.0/bin should have some specific info, like changing "vendor" to something but I don't know what... I'm not totally familiar with this stuff yet, this is my first time using heroku and ruby.
EDIT: I forgot to mention (in case it is important) I am running Xubuntu 13.10.
I believe I have fixed the issue. I was somehow running the bundle command which was installed for ruby 1.9.3... so when it compared the gemfile definition with the version it was running on they mismatched. Re-rerunning sudo gem install bundler has sorted it out.

Ruby version did not get updated to 1.9.x

I installed ruby as per instructions given here but when I do ruby--version then it still shows 1.8.7. How do I make sure I use newly installed Ruby?
I would suggest you to use RVM (Ruby Version Manager). You may find a full installation guide here:
http://ryanbigg.com/2011/06/mac-os-x-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you/
If you get an error such as "ERROR: Error running ' ./configure...." after executing rvm install e.g.
rvm install 1.9.3
Then you may try to install it like this:
rvm install 1.9.3 --with-gcc=clang
Note: in the guide this possible error is not described
Did you properly setup your PATH? What's the output of echo $PATH? /usr/local/bin has to come first they way this tutorial sets up things. You see that everything worked right when which ruby displays /usr/local/bin/ruby.
Personally I'd recommend using a tool for managing Ruby versions though. RVM still seems to be the most popular choice, I prefer the combination of rbenv and ruby-build.

CTRL+C to Webbrick server ignored

In the past, I could exit my rails application launched using webbrick using CtrlC. At some point in development, this functionality broke ( CtrlC does nothing now). I'm lead to believe this was caused by changes in one of my gem dependencies, as the problem is also present when checking out a really old version of the application, using the current gemset.
My question is: how can I fix this problem, or at least find the out what is causing it?
For windows users, this was broken in more recent builds of rails (3.2+). Try using
ruby script\rails server
instead. More details here.
Try Ctrl+Break. It should work.
I had the same issue with an application. It would seem that the issue is not with the authlogic gem but with the ":git" option. My entry causing webrick & mongrel to stop responding to Ctrl+C was
gem 'globalize3', :git => 'git://github.com/refinerycms/globalize3.git'
Interesting experience (and good workaround for the next weeks):
If you are under Ubuntu and use Guake for quick terminal access, you can launch
rails s
there. Ctrl + C reproducibly works there for me and stops the server.
Hope I could help! :)
Seemed to have solved my own problem. Authlogic
gem "authlogic", :git => 'http://github.com/binarylogic/authlogic.git'
appears to be the root cause of this problem. I've opened an issue here
I have been experiencing similar issues, specifically on Ubuntu 11.04 (things were fine on 10.04). I've created another question that was more specific to my particular setup, but it sounds like there is a lot of crossover, so people might be interested in reading it as well:
Can't stop WEBrick 1.3.1 with ctrl-c on Ubuntu 11.04
I was experiencing this problem on Ubuntu 11.04, Ruby 1.9.2p290. This fixed it for me:
Remove all existing Ruby & Ruby-related packages
Install RVM
Install Ruby 1.9.3
$ rvm install 1.9.3
$ rvm use 1.9.3
Make sure it works
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.9.3dev (2011-09-23 revision 33323) [x86_64-linux]
Install all your gems, etc...
why not trap()ing signals?

Ruby & Rails installation on a Mac

I used railstutorial.org to install the latest version of ruby and the latest version of rails on my machine.
at the end of the installation I checked
ruby -v ==> 1.9.2 (great)
rails -v ==> 3.0.1 (great)
this morning I opened up terminal
ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2009-06-08 patchlevel 369) [universal-darwin9.0]
rails -v
Rails 1.2.6
what happened?
My advice for people who are installing ruby is to use RVM. It makes managing your ruby versions and gem versions really simple and you can install multiple ruby versions side by side.
You might want to read this post:
http://rubylearning.com/blog/2010/12/20/how-do-i-keep-multiple-ruby-projects-separate/
You can use Cinderalla to the whole ruby/rvm/mysql/redis/git/... stack set up properly. Cinderella installs everything in ~/Developer and fixes up your PATH as well. I had some issues with a corrupt git mirror last time I used Cinderalla though so YMMV.
With many unix variants, you are likely to have multiple versions of Ruby--particularly if you installed Ruby 1.9 and the system already had 1.8 installed. Essentially, the 1.8 version of Ruby has a higher precedence in your PATH than the 1.9 version. The Ruby Gems command keeps the libraries separate between 1.8 and 1.9 so that the platform will be reasonably stable.
To correct the problem, you have to find where ruby 1.9 is installed. Once you do that, you'll need to override your PATH variable. Assuming 1.9 is installed in the path: /opt/ruby-1.9.2, you will need to set your PATH like this:
PATH=/opt/ruby-1.9.2/bin:$PATH
export PATH
To make the path respect what you want every time, add that to your ~/.profile file (create it if necessary). Once the path has been set, it sould be able to find the correct version of Rails again.
I cannot say for certain because I cannot debug you OSX machine from here, however, I had a very similar occurrence. The problem was caused because I had installed ruby and then rails on my machine using sudo or from the root account. Then when I discovered rvm I installed everything in my user account. When I logged off and back in I appeared to lose everything. I was pulling out my hair. I was pissed that I was going to have to reinstall everything again... when I found the magic.
from the command line execute the command:
rvm list
you'll see that your new version of ruby is there. you'll also notice the tokens that indicate that it is just a normal version. It is not current or default. (see it yet)
Now if you run the command:
rvm use 1.9.2 --default
then every time you login/off and restart your machine your user account will default to that version of ruby and all of the gems that you installed against that version.
