I'm trying to install and configure 'OpenShift' on Windows. I installed the necessary tools like: Git, RubyGem 2.x, but when I try to install 'rhc' ruby gem I got this error:

C:\>ruby -v
ruby 2.1.6p336 (2015-04-13 revision 50298) [x64-mingw32]
C:\>gem install rhc
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rhc' (>= 0) in any repositor
C:\>

I've been searching this issue through the Internet, but it was unsuccessfully...

When I run the following command: $gem sources, I got this.

C:\>gem sources
*** CURRENT SOURCES ***     
C:\>

It seems like something is wrong here, but yes, I did what you think. I "added" the source but...

C:\>gem source -a http://rubygems.org
[https://rubygems.org][1] is recommended for security over http://rubygems.org

Do you want to add this insecure source? [yn]  y
Error fetching [http://rubygems.org][1]:
        no such name (http://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
C:\>

What should I do guys? I've been reading so many forums and other webpages, but none of them gave me a solution to that.

Additional information: Windows 7 (x64), Ruby 2.1.6 (actually I had installed Ruby 2.2, but I found in some forums that this issue can fixed just back to and old version of Ruby). I use a proxy to connect me to Internet.

Updating info.

C:\>gem install rhc --source http://rubygems.org
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rhc' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from http://rubygems.org/ - no such name (http://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

C:\>gem sources -c
*** Removed specs cache ***

C:\>gem sources -u
source cache successfully updated

C:\>gem install rhc --source http://rubygems.org
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rhc' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from http://rubygems.org/ - no such name (http://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

    Downgrade Ruby to 1.9 and it should solve your issues. This is a known issue with the rhc tool on Windows. – Mark B Jul 10 '15 at 20:44
  • @mbaird Thanks for your answer! I'm gonna do this. And I will be back for a feedback ! – Moises Gonzaga Jul 10 '15 at 21:15
  • @mbaird I tried, but was the same result. I changed to Ruby 1.9, and the problem it's the same. – Moises Gonzaga Jul 13 '15 at 17:05

    Could you try `gem install rhc --source http://rubygems.org`, try doing `gem sources -c` then `gem sources -u`, also provide some information on how you connect to the internet (e.g. through a proxy, an odd dns setup, etc). – Azolo Jul 13 '15 at 20:18
  • @Azolo ... the result of those commands, they are already in the description. And I use a proxy to connect me to the Internet. – Moises Gonzaga Jul 14 '15 at 11:50
  • Ok, it's probably the proxy then. Give me a bit and I'll get the solution for how to connect through a proxy for you if you haven't figured it out by the time I get a chance. – Azolo Jul 14 '15 at 14:31

It looks like rubygems.org was having problems around the time you posted this question.

However, it should be fixed now.

So the important information that you shared in your comments (you're behind a proxy) means that you will have to set some environment variables in order to use rubygems through the proxy.

In cmd.exe use:

set http_proxy=http://user:password@proxy_ip:port

or in PowerShell:

$env:http_proxy=http://user:password@proxy_ip:port

There was a case where that format didn't work and a different format had to be used:

http_proxy = proxy_ip:port
http_proxy_user = user
http_proxy_pass = password

Domain Users:

Try without the Domain prefix first, unless you know that the default Domain isn't set or that your Domain isn't the default.

Using a Domain User Login and the domain\user format, the \ must be replaced using its percent-encoding equivalent counterpart: %5C.

http://domain%5Cuser:password@proxy_ip:port

  • and after this, I must be able to install the rhc rubygem right? ... if so, look this, maybe I'm missing something. `ERROR: While executing gem ... (URI::InvalidURIError) bad URI(is not URI?): http://damin\myuser:mypassword@ipProxy:portProxy` – Moises Gonzaga Jul 14 '15 at 21:11
  • You have to replace the the `myuser`, `mypassword`, `ipProxy`, `portProxy` with the corresponding information to connect to your proxy server. – Azolo Jul 15 '15 at 14:27
  • Yeap, I did it. I replaced it with the correct information, but that was the result, that kind of error. – Moises Gonzaga Jul 15 '15 at 16:10

    err, sorry are you using *domain* authentication? If so can you try it without the *domain* prefixed? If not you will have to use `http://domain%5Cuser:password@proxy_ip:port` – Azolo Jul 15 '15 at 20:54
  • Awesome! Thank you so much for that advise, it works! Thanks for your help fixing this kind of issue. – Moises Gonzaga Jul 16 '15 at 11:39
