Dreamhost and Rails 2.0.2 January 8th, 2008
Well, it seems that my work and hosting provider updated Rails to 2.0.2. This seems to have caught many people off guard, including me. Since my site generates static files of everything once it’s viewed I wasn’t really impacted greatly. However I did want to make my site work again. So after a little digging around I found that since I didn’t freeze my rails to their current working version, I was still able to freeze an older copy.
rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-2-6
That snippet froze my rails to 1.2.6 which is what I had initially installed it on. It’s now working perfect, and I shouldn’t have any future problems with upgrades since my rails is now frozen.
