When attempting to install bundler I first ran into this problem:
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'bundler' (>= 0), here is why: Unable to download data from https://rubygems.org/ - SSL_connect retur ned=1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed ( https://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
Since then, I have added '-r --source http://rubygems.org/' to the end of each gem I install and it appears to work, but I recived multiple instances of this error:
WARNING: Unable to pull data from 'https://rubygems.org/': SSL_connect returned =1 errno=0 state=SSLv3 read server certificate B: certificate verify failed (htt ps://rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)
Now when I try to run 'rails new testapp' it will not complete without telling me to install a new gem every time. Each time I install the gem specified, and run it again to be told that:
An error occurred while installing [gem], and Bundler cannot
continue.
Make sure that gem install [gem] -v '[version number]' succeeds before bundling.

What you need to do is follow the instructions listed here: https://gist.github.com/luislavena/f064211759ee0f806c88#manual-solution-to-ssl-issue
Basically you create a new '.pem' file and save it inside 'C:\Ruby21-x64\lib\ruby\2.1.0\rubygems\ssl_certs' folder.
NOTE: your path might be a little different but this is the basic idea!

6,804 PointsI'm sorry its confusing you bro! The reason for the issue is given on the site as well; here is the excerpt:
"The particular case of RubyGems (the command line tool) is that it requires to bundle inside of its code the trust certificates, which allow RubyGems to establish a connection with the servers even when base operating system is unable to verify the identity of them."
Here are the steps taken from the link I gave before (so you can see an overview of directions):
Step 1: Obtain the new trust certificate
Step 2: Locate RubyGems certificate directory in your installation
Step 3: Copy new trust certificate
Step 4: Profit
P.S. I think this step maybe where you tripped up:
"IMPORTANT: File must have .pem as extension. Browsers like Chrome will try to save it as plain text file. Ensure you change the filename to have .pem in it after you have downloaded it."
I hope this cleared things up!
