I'm trying to install rails on a new machine 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/ - Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Operation timed out - connect(2) (http://gems.rubyforge.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
rubyforge.org was deprecated in favor of rubygems.org -- quite a while ago, this is nothing new. But you are stuck with an old source, i was too, just updated.
You probably want to do the following, first remove rubyforge.org as a source:
gem source -r http://gems.rubyforge.org
Next add rubygems.org as a source
gem source -a http://rubygems.org
Now do a gem update:
gem update --system
Check to see which version of gem you are running:
gem -v
Should be on 2.0.6 (or greater).
Good to go!
RubyForge was down today. :)
See here.
You could not reach the gems server. Could be many things but you can find the status of RubyForge here: http://status.rubygems.org/

I'm trying to install Ruby, I followed the installation guide well, but when I tried to run the server by the command:
ruby bin/rails setup
after I created the controller called blog as described in the instructions, it gave me an error in red and a text in yellow:
Error:
Could not find gem uglifier <>= 1.3.0 in the gems available on the machine.
Yes! I know that this is a Googleable question but all I can get are solutions for people with internet access on their PC.
But unfortunately, my computer doesn't have a working Internet connection. I'm posting this question from my phone. So I'm unable to install uglifier(if that's the required thing to do) through the command prompt. Many thanks.
Please could you check if your Gemfile has the following gem
gem 'uglifier'
If the Gem is not present add it to your Gemfile, if you already have it in your Gemfile please run:
bundle install
After that you should check if the bundler is installing the uglifier gem.
Hope that helps,
I try to install rails but I am faced to the following error.
Has somebody any idea how to resolve it ?
C:\Users\Utilisateur>gem -v

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)
hiii
i am trying to update my gem file. Current version of gem is 1.8.5
When i am trying to update it using command " gem install rubygems-update -v 1.8.5 " it is giving following error
**

I am working on ubuntu 10.04

it is giving the error as below
Updating rubygems-update
**
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::GemNotFoundException)
Could not find a valid gem 'rubygems-update' (1.8.6) locally or in
a repository

i also tried the solution given on the link http://lightyearsoftware.com/2009/07/updating-rubygems-to-recent-1-3-x/
please help me to resolve the problem..
If you are under Windows 7, run the command prompt as Administrator.
Read this thread. The error reported is the same of yours.
Try to apply the Google DNS configuration to your connection.
Otherwise you can try to install locally the gem, downloading it on rubygems.org. After this, in the directory you downloaded the gem, try to install it locally with the command: gem install gem_name --local
I also had this error. I resolved it with
gem uninstall rubygems-update
(you may need to be sudo) and then reinstalled with
gem install rubygems-update
now it's working fine, hope this is helpful
Try this:
Manually uninstall the gem you want to remove: gem uninstall [gemToUinistall]
Download the gem manually from http://rubygems.org/
try to install the gem from local : gem install [gemToInstall]
I have Ruby 1.8.7 and Ruby 1.9.2 installed on my Windows Machine.
In my console when I do ruby -v it gives me Ruby 1.8.7
Now when I try
gem install rails -v 2.3.8
I get this error
ERROR: http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find gem rails locally or in a repository
My RubyGems version show 1.3.5 so I tried to update it
gem update --system
I get this error
Updating RubyGems
ERROR: http://gems.rubyforge.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::E10013: An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by

What is going wrong?
Give this a try.
gem sources
That will show you what sources you are using.
gem sources -a http://rubygems.org
gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
gem sources -a http://gems.rubyforge.org/
Those will add the most used gem sources.
I got the same error, but when I tried to set the company's proxy with SET HTTP_PROXY, I got a problem because the proxy uses NTLM validation and I needed to specify my AD-Domin which won't work wit gem. The way I got around it was installing fiddler and starting it and then setting
SET HTTP_PROXY=http://localhost:8888
afterwards my gems installed like a charm!
Problem: Cannot install any gem, any type. But I want to install riddle if that matters.
When I run sudo gem install "gem_name" I get the following error:
WARNING: RubyGems 1.2+ index not found for:
RubyGems will revert to legacy indexes degrading performance.
Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/
What to do??
Check your sources
gem sources
rebuild index for affected sources, e.g.
gem generate_index http://gems.rubyforge.org
1) Here is the answer!!!!
- slow connection
2) Solution
- move to a new connection.
-
This might not affect people in the 1st world, but I live in China and this was a huge problem as few people seem to have experienced this.
Basically the error means that the connection is to slow and gives up saying no index found. But there is not documentation or help out there on this, except for a few posts about changing gem sources, and MERB causing problems, but all that failed for me.
I was having the same problem and ran the following:
gem env
And saw that I had the following sources in my rubygems configuration:
http://gems.rubyforge.org
http://gems.rubyonrails.org
http://gems.github.com
Based on other answers I've seen here and on the web I decided to remove the rubyonrails.org reference:
sudo gem sources -r http://gems.rubyonrails.org
I was then able to install the gem I was trying to get without the RubyGems 1.2+ index error.
So I'd suggest trimming your list of sources down to just rubyforge and github and then trying to install the gem you want.
I solved this problem by
rm -rf ~/.gem
And then run "gem install" again
Try to add the another gem source. For example github:
sudo gem sources -r http://gems.rubyforge.org
sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com
You are running an old RubyGems version.
Upgrade to the latest RubyGems 1.3.x branch.
$ rubygems update --self
If it doesn't work (RubyGems 1.2.0 has a weird bug that prevents --self update) then install rubygems_update
$ wget http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/60717/rubygems-update-1.3.5.gem
$ gem install rubygems-update-1.3.5.gem
$ update_rubygems
Use sudo if your os requires it.
Could be a daft entry in /etc/hosts...
