Gem environment and $GEM_PATH not updating when using rvm

I'm trying to upgrade ruby and rails gem on a server with cPanel, to do this I installed rvm and I successfully installed different versions of ruby… great stuff!

Having a problem though, the server seems to be ignoring which gemset to use. After installing a fresh copy of 1.9.2 I still get the same list of gems, and the GEM_PATH/GEMHOME is the same:

$>gem env

RubyGems Environment:
– RUBYGEMS VERSION: 1.8.15
– RUBY VERSION: 1.9.2 (2011-07-09 patchlevel 290) [x86_64-linux]
– INSTALLATION DIRECTORY: /home/ruby/ruby/gems
– RUBY EXECUTABLE: /home/ruby/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby
– EXECUTABLE DIRECTORY: /home/ruby/ruby/gems/bin
– RUBYGEMS PLATFORMS:
– ruby
– x86_64-linux
– GEM PATHS:
– /home/ruby/ruby/gems
– GEM CONFIGURATION:
– :update_sources => true
– :verbose => true
– :benchmark => false
– :backtrace => false
– :bulk_threshold => 1000
– “gem” => “–remote –gen-rdoc –run-tests”
– “gemhome” => “/home/ruby/ruby/gems”
– “gempath” => []
– “rdoc” => “–inline-source –line-numbers”
– REMOTE SOURCES:
– http://rubygems.org/

Creating new gemsets and trying to use the new gemset doesn't change anything

Would love to get this working, an ideas what I could do to solve this?

P.S: I understand this will break the "ruby on rails" feature of cPanel and users will have to use the shell prompt to generate an app.
