Upgrading Ruby safely


The recommended way of safely upgrading Ruby implies that you have installed your Redmine server's Ruby using RVM (Ruby Version Manager). RVM works under both Linux and Windows. This recipe deals with a scenario where you want to upgrade the Ruby version on which your Redmine instance is running.

Getting ready

Make sure that you have server administration privileges.

Check the requirements of the Redmine version against the Ruby version on Redmine's website installation instructions, at the following URL: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall#Requirements.

How to do it…

Assuming that Ruby on your server is installed with RVM, upgrading Ruby should be very easy and straightforward. RVM even lets you use multiple versions of Ruby binaries on your system.

Note

RVM can be installed at user level, bypassing the system-defined options

To find out which version of Ruby your system is running, type the following as root or sudo:

ruby –v
