SSL Error When Making New Rails Project

Question

When I make a new rails project (on Windows) with rails new projectname -d mysql, it creates all the files and then returns this when it tries to perform bundle install:

        Unfortunately, a fatal error has occurred. Please see the Bundler
        troubleshooting documentation at http://bit.ly/bundler-issues. Thanks!

I got the same error with Ruby 2.0 and thought that might be the problem but the same thing happened with Ruby 1.9.3 (the version I used for this).

Answer 1

I had the problem.I changed the gem source, then the problem has been solved. First, check the gem sources with the following command:

gem sources -l

It should be 'https://rubygems.org/'.

Second, remove the gem sources with the following command:

gem sources --remove https://rubygems.org/

Third, add a new gem sources with the following command:

gem sources -a http://rubygems.org/

If you are in China, you also use the Taobao gem sources:

gem sources -a http://ruby.taobao.org/

Finally, it is OK.

When you created a new project,If you met this problem. You can change gem sources in th Gemfile file.

Change the gem sources

from

source 'https://rubygems.org/'

to

source 'http://rubygems.org/'

If you are in China, you also use the Taobao gem sources:

source 'http://ruby.taobao.org/'

then you should run the following command:

bundle install

Good Luck!

I'm not good at English.So, I am sorry.

Answer 2

After a bit of Googling, I came across a guide which shows you how to add the right SSL Cert file (which turned out to be the problem):

Answer 3

If on linux, try installing libssl-dev and then recompile openssl from source.

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

If you compiled ruby from source, navigate to your ruby source and go into the ext/openssl directory.

Within there, do ./configure && make && make install

See if you're able to create your new rails app.
