> Locally Update InstantRails-2.0-win to support rails 2.2.2.
> Before everything I want point something that all the blogs and forums

> boring for people on the slow side of the internet. Rails is a gem
> (meaning this is a package) so we can install rails locally from

> For ur convenience u can download the rails-2.2.2. zip fromhttp://rubyonrails.org. Inside the zip u will find
> {vendor/rails/*/pkg} directory here u will get all the gems u need.(*
> means railties,activesupport,activerecord etc.)
> Step 1. Setting the environment variable in win XP
> Set a path of /ruby/bin
> {installed driver}/{ InstantRails-2.0-win" } /ruby/bin
> Step 2. Installing ruby gem 1.3.1
> Extract "rubygems-1.3.1.zip "
> Go to the extracted directory from command line
> Run :
> ruby install.rb
> This will install the ruby gem 1.3.1
> Check the version with run :
> gem -v
> To be sured u can run command: gem update -system
> Step 3. Installing rake 0.8.3
> To install rails-2.2.2 u will need rake 0.8.3
> I couldn't find the gem of rake 0.8.3
> I installed it from internet
> Run :
> gem install rake -include-dependencies
> This update rake
> Step 4. Installing rails 2.2.2
> Put all the gems in the {your path}/ruby/bin/ directory
> All most done
> Run command :
> gem install rails -include-dependencies -l
> The last -l parameter forces the gems to be installed from local
> directory
> The command will auto install actionmailer,activerecord .....
> Check the version with run :
> rails -v
> Step 5. Seeing what is installed
> U can see all the gem that are installed in ur system .
> Run :
> gem list
> Warring!!! do not run :
> gem cleanup
> This cleanup is not necessary
> Problems you may face:
> I face a mysql a problem of : missing libmySQL.dll error
> This was very annoying. Goto
> {your path}/mysql/bin/
> libmySQL.dll
> paste it to
> {your path}/ruby/bin/
> I guess this will solve the problem.
> This is my first real problem solve post . hope u liked it .
