Before asking questions about Ruby on Rails setup on CentOS 4, I want to make sure that this forum is the proper place for those questions.
Are there any members who can help?
Many thanks...

---- I think you are going to have a difficult time and I think you will have to compile ruby from source because CentOS 4 has a very ancient version. It can be done though.

Note that 5.4 is the current release of CentOS.

---- ignoring that CentOS 4.8 is also a current release then I suppose what you say is true.

I have Ruby 2.3.5.8 on my CentOS box with Gems 1.3.4, however I am getting some errors that I do not understand. I am absolutely new to RoR, but I do not want to take up anyone's time on this site if this is an incorrect place to ask RoR questions.
Todd
P.S. I have some questions about upgrading to CentOS 5, but I'll start another thread for that.

---- It would be impossible to have ruby 2.3.5.8 on any computer since the 'current' (stable) version is 1.8.7 and the 'development' (unstable) is 1.9.1
CentOS 4 has something like version 1.8.1-7 which really isn't rails suitable (you need AT LEAST 1.8.4 and you can passably use 1.8.5 like on CentOS 5).
I think your questions are in the realm of CentOS thus far but questions that are specific to RoR applications are probably not and probably better handled on RoR list.

Craig -
I may have made a typo. I have
Rails: 2.3.5.8 Ruby: 1.8.5 Gems: 1.3.4 SQLite: 3.3.6 MySQL: 4.1.22
So, theoretically, I should be OK.

Go to
and download the source for the recommend version of ruby to use with rails.
It's trivial to build - it builds on both CentOS 3 and CentOS 4.
I don't know anything about rails but to install it you simply type
gem install rails

You must update Ruby first. You can obtain ruby-1.8.5 for CentOS-4 from the centos-testing repo. Once you have that then you can install the latest Gem manager from rubygems.org. Once Gem is up-to-date installing Rails should be simple.
However, be advised that some gems do require at least Ruby 1.8.6. Rails does not but be aware that other things that you may wish to use with Rails might choke on 1.8.5
