I'm trying to install sass gem. Installing fails with timeout error.

Time out error Error: Could not find a valid gem 'sass' ()=0), here is why: Unable to download data from https ://rubygems.org/ - timed out (https: //api.rubygems.org/specs.4.8.gz)

I tried to change my gem source from https ://rubygems.org/ to http ://rubygems.org/. When I'm trying to change gem source it fails with this error:

this error

Error: While executing gem ... (Errno::ENOENT) No such file or directory @ rb_sysopen - H:/.gemrc

Can you help me with this issue?

Can you connect manually to rubygems.org from the server? Why are you trying to remove it as a source? Do you have an alternate source? - Tom Lord
Also, please post your errors as (nicely formatted) text, not images (or links to images). - Tom Lord
@TomLord What do you mean by "connect manually"? I could load the site using browser. Is it an answer to your question? - Yan Germanovich

You may be experiencing the issue with IPv6 that some others are, including myself. Here is another topic about it: gem cannot access rubygems.org

Hard to say without some more info but judging from your second error - it may be that your PATH environment variable may be set incorrectly.

Looks like ruby is trying to read from the H:/ drive - is that where the interpreter is installed?. This may help [How do I add Ruby to the PATH variable on Windows?
