Happy Holidays,
I am new to RoR and have just run through the install, which well
seemed to be vaquely documented as some ''Do this'' type of
thing on
the http://rubyonrails.org/download page.
download gem
setup.rb
gem install rails
rails path/to/your/new/application
cd path/to/your/new/application
ruby script/server
and then ( drumroll ) ....
Follow the instructions on http://localhost:3000.
Unable to connect to Server ...
Advise Please.
Has this possibly got something to do with the fact that I am on
Windows XP and the install script is choking because of white space in
the path, like in "Program Files"?
-------------------------
I note two oddities which I''m sure are related to the failure ...
Rails 2.3.3 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000

custom_require.rb:31:in `g

Notice that the IP is 0.0.0.0 instead of 127.0.0.1
also, the Syntax Error

Hello again! I call it tautological learning ... you stick out your finger, get burned and don''t do that again, else, you don''t get burned and you internalize the response with the option for modification in the future. Yep, the white space in the path was the culprit. I wanted to stuff all web stuff in my Apache htdocs dir to make things easy to back up. Apparently, rails was not willing to accommodate. The install worked OK if I simply chose a path directly off c: Not what I wanted to do, but ... OK, success is a better option than failure.

The syntax error is really weird though. When you do rails app_name it creates a bunch of files for you. Some of them are just copied verbatim, others are templates with some bits of information filled in on the fly. config/environment.rb is one such file. Hard to be sure without seeing the whole file but from the excerpt of the file contained in the error it looks like the template for environment.rb was just copied verbatim, without being evaluated. I suppose it''s possible that funny path names were part of the reason - easiest way to find out is to try again in a different location.
