I'm getting this error when I generate a new rails application

Fetching source index from
Retrying source fetch due to error (2/3): Bundler::Fetcher::CertificateFailureError Could not verify the SSL certificate for rubygems.

I ran gem update --system, but it did not work. I came down with another error:

ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError) SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed ()

What is going on here and how can I fix it? Thank you

This issue usually occurs with old versions of rubygem. You can try updating it by running

gem update --system --source 

and after that

gem update

source.

Create a new file .gemrc in your home directory and add this line.

:ssl_verify_mode: 0

Now, it should continue even if it can't verify that the SSL connection is "trusted".
