Downloaded/installed Ruby on Rails 1.0 on Windows, rails path/to/your/new/application cd path/to/your/new/application ruby script/server and tried to access it on http://0.0.0.0:3000, got connection refused error in firefox. tried again using ruby script/server -b 127.0.0.5 and it worked just fine, the url is now: http://127.0.0.5:3000/ For some reason, my machine don''t like 0.0.0.0 The -b switch allows you to pick a different IP and that worked. Hope this helps someone. Ray -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
