Copycopter-server : bundle install failed due to "Platform" gem

Question

I have decided to try to deploy Copycopter-server on my VPS . After cloning the Github repository on my development machine , I tried bundle install . And then the error appeared :

Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError: Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/gems/Platform-0.4.0.gem)

I have tried to install the gems Platform and Popen4 locally with no success . It seems the last activity for improvement of the Platform gem is from 2005...

I need your advices on :

• how can I find where these gems (Platforma is a dependency of Popen4) are used in the Copycopter-server application ?
• Could it be a temporary Rubigems.org problem or the gems are not compatible with Rails 3.2.11 ?
• What could be the reason the names Platform and Popen4 to be capitalized in the Gemfile?

Thank you for your time.

Please check your network settings. Connection refused sounds more like your are not allowed to connect to rubygems at all. Try a

curl "http://rubygems.org"

to find out.

Update from the comments:

The source line in the Gemfile has to be changed from

source :rubygems

to

source 'https://rubygems.org'
