rails update 3.2.5-Collection of common programming errors

for our redmine-installation (=>tool for project planing, ticketing etc.) we installed ruby on our server, which worked fine … But now we need a rails update (Rails 3.2.3) for a redmine update and so the troubles began:

I did the following:

1.) installing ruby 1.9.3

root@information:~#  rvm install 1.9.3

Depending on your version of ruby, you may need to install ruby rdoc/ri data:

= 1.9.2 : nothing to do! Yay!

3.) trying to update rails

root@information:/var/www/redmine# gem install rails --version '~> 3.2.0'

Successfully installed rails-3.2.5

root@information:/var/www/redmine# rails -v

Rails 2.3.5

root@information:/var/www/redmine# 

My problem is, that redmine 2.0.1 had problems with ruby 1.9.3 and so tried to downgrade ruby by e.g. “rvm uninstall 1.9.3” and tried to reinstall ruby 1.8.6…

After all I just upgraded to ruby 1.9.3 but failed to upgrade to rails 3.2.5….

Can you help me here ?

I’m new to ruby. Did I forget installation steps?. Thanks in advance for your help? Cheers,
