Changing rubygems version:

• Downgrade the rubygems to an earlier version using gem update --system {version}
• Add “require ‘thread’” in to – Rakefile, script/server and config/environment.rb

Upgrade Rails:
Upgrade application in to Rails 3 though it’s very hard to do for existing/running rails application.

For me, I was trying to run Rails 2.3.5 application where my system had rubygems 1.8.2. I’ve changed the rubygems version in to 1.7.2 as mentioned above and everything works fine.
