Can Rails 1.1.6 and 1.2 coexist on the same server?

Rails
1

So I am still on Rails 1.1.6 but want to start planning for migration to
1.2.
Before I go and install 1.2 over my 1.1.6 environment I want to make
sure
things will not get messed up.

It seems like I can select a Rails version by specifying the
RAILS_GEM_VERSION.
Knowing Rails it is probably that simple but I just want to get
confirmation that
is indeed the case.

IMO, this should be Rule #1 of Rails deployment basically everywhere:

rake rails:freeze:gems

I always have Rails installed into my vendor directory so I never have
to
worry about this kind of problem. Then it’s very easy to have multiple
rails
sites running with differing versions.

Well, more like for each rails site, freeze the gems at the proper
version (
1.1.6 it sounds like). Then, on your development box, freeze the 1.2
gems to
the site and work on porting. Then you just drop the new site in place,
complete with 1.2 and you know it works.

So basically freeze gems for version 1.1.6 then install version 1.2 …
