Problem with RubyGems/installing RubyOnRails on Fedora Core 7

First of all, I'm new to Ruby. Second of all, don't castrate me for running Fedora Core 7. I'm at the mercy of GoDaddy's virtual dedicated servers :P

Okay, so basically, I've been trying to get Rails installed on my server for the past day, and I'm not entirely sure what the problem is. Ruby and RubyGems are already installed, and a quick check shows their paths:

[root@ip-*** /]# which ruby
/usr/bin/ruby
[root@ip-*** /]# which gem
/usr/bin/gem

So, according to like.. 20 different sources I've found online, all I would need to do is... 

gem install rails

This is where I encounter my problem.

[root@ip-*** /]# gem install rails
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
    HTTP Response 302

Other sources have said I need to update my RubyGems, but this error duplicates itself when I try.

[root@ip-*** /]# gem update --system
Updating RubyGems...
ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteSourceException)
    HTTP Response 302

Env data for RubyGems shows:

[root@ip-*** /]# gem env
RubyGems Environment:
  - VERSION: 0.9.4 (0.9.4)
  - INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  - GEM PATH:
     - /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8
  - REMOTE SOURCES:
     - http://gems.rubyforge.org

Like I said, I'm a Ruby n00b, so any help would be appreciated. I would really like to get Rails up and running on my system. Thanks!

If you need more info, just let me know what I'm leaving out.

Try to remove the current RubyGems and reinstall the latest version (it seems that you're stuck and unable to upgrade)
