Suddenly, nothing ruby works

Hello,

I had successfully installed ruby and built some applications which were working beautifully and suddenly when I went back to start up some of the applications, I went to the pages and recieved the error of "application failed (ruby).

I then restarted my computer and tried to start Webrick server and now I get "recognized as an internal or external command" on all ruby or rails command line calls

IE: C:\>rails "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\ruby_app
_3"
yeilds this:
'rails' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

C:\>ruby "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\myfirstap
p\script\server"

Yeilds this:
'ruby' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I then went and reinstalled ruby and the same thing happens.

HEEEEEEEELLLLLLP!!!!!

Make sure the ruby binaries are in the environment PATH variable. It probably got modified somehow, which is why you can't call it directly from the CLI.

Yup - that's what it was - Somehow - my path variable got waxed.

Really strange - maybe it was a software update clash -dunno.

It's fixed now after I manually appended the ruby c:/ruby/bin to the Path variable.

Thanks again!
