Same version of Ruby, RubyGems, Rails, and all the required gems. If you do that, the app should run "as is". If it doesn't, figure out why. Does the app have tests? If so, run them; if any of them fail, it'll tell you a lot. If it doesn't have tests, write some. In any case, get the tests to run and/or the app to run without any apparent errors. Then you can start upgrading things *one at a time*. What you are trying to do is *not easy* for someone without much Rails experience, but it *is* possible and you'll learn a lot. But let me again emphasize: >> use git. write tests. change one thing at a time. << Good luck! -- Hassan Schroeder ------------------------ hassan.schroe...@gmail.com twitter: @hassan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
