[Instantrails-users] Can''t Get InstantRails Default Applications to Work
I have a Windows XP Professional machine with Service Pack 2 on it. I''ve downloaded and installed the latest InstantRails distro but I can''t get either the cookbook or typo applications to work. When I try to access them, they just time out. Here''s my entire installation and troubleshooting process. Does anybody have any idea on what is wrong? First I extracted InstantRails 1.3a to C:\InstantRails. Before I started InstantRails, I went to the Apache directory and started Apache. I got this message: Syntax error on line 74 of c:/instantrails/apache/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory Then I started InstantRails and got this message in a popup window: Apache port (80) is used by "" (inetinfo.exe)! Next, I went to Configure > Apache and changed the Port and Listen to 3000: Port 3000 Listen 3000 I also went into the Windows Host file and added these lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 www.mycookbook.com 127.0.0.1 typo Now when I restarted IR and opened the Rails Application window, I checked the checkbox next to cookbook and clicked the "Start SCGI Server" button. When I entered http://www.mycookbook.com, I got the Internet site, not the local Rails application. Next I entered http://127.0.0.1:3000/ and the browser displayed the message "coming soon!" which is coming from C:\InstantRails\www\index.html. Now I opened up the Windows Hosts file again and changed the ports for the RoR applications: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1:3000 www.mycookbook.com 127.0.0.1:3000 typo Then I restarted IR, went to Manage Rails Applications, checked the cookbook application checkbox, and clicked the "Start SCGI Server" button. This time when I started the cookbook application with the URL http://www.mycookbook.com:3000/, my Firefox browser said "The connection has timed out." I also tried it in IE but got the message, "The page cannot be displayed" and "Cannot find server or DNS Error". Next I went to the Apache directory and started Apache by hand. There were no errors reported. Next I stopped my Windows firewall and tried http://www.mycookbook.com:3000/ again in both Firefox and IE and got the same messages as before. There''s nothing in the Apache Error and Access logs and the InstantRails log looks normal: 03/08 21:00:22 Instant Rails: Servers starting 03/08 21:00:23 Apache : Apache port (80) is used by "" (inetinfo.exe) ! 03/08 21:00:23 MySql : Configuration file changed 03/08 21:00:23 Apache : Configuration file changed 03/08 21:06:08 Apache : Configuration file changed 03/08 21:06:20 Instant Rails: Stop the Servers 03/08 21:06:31 Instant Rails: Servers starting 03/08 21:16:54 Instant Rails: Stop the Servers 03/08 21:17:17 Instant Rails: Servers starting 03/08 21:19:44 Instant Rails: Stop the Servers 03/08 21:19:49 Instant Rails: Servers starting 03/08 21:28:27 Instant Rails: Stop the Servers 03/08 21:31:08 Instant Rails: Servers starting When I do a "netstat -a" this is what I see: C:\InstantRails>netstat -a Active Connections Proto Local Address Fore TCP LLC30-E00008034:smtp LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:http LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:epmap LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:https LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:microsoft-d TENING TCP LLC30-E00008034:1035 LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:1351 LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:1039 LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:1057 LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:1118 loca TCP LLC30-E00008034:1119 loca TCP LLC30-E00008034:1352 LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:ms-sql-s L NG TCP LLC30-E00008034:62514 LLC3 TCP LLC30-E00008034:netbios-ssn ENING TCP LLC30-E00008034:ms-sql-s L NG TCP LLC30-E00008034:52028 LLC3 UDP LLC30-E00008034:407 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:microsoft-d UDP LLC30-E00008034:isakmp *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1025 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1026 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1033 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1079 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:2967 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:3456 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:4500 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:52311 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:ntp *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1060 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1159 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1191 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:1900 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:62514 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:ntp *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:netbios-ns UDP LLC30-E00008034:netbios-dgm UDP LLC30-E00008034:1900 *:* UDP LLC30-E00008034:52029 *:* I tried changing this file C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\cookbook\config\scgi.yaml from :host: 127.0.0.1 to :host: 127.0.0.1:3000 Even this didn''t work!!!

Is your browser configured to use a proxy server? If so, then the HOSTS definition of www.mycookbook.com will be igored and a real DNS lookup through the proxy server will result in the real internet site instead of your local machine. This happens to me when I''m on my work machine. If so, just temporarily turn off the proxy server setting and it should start working as expected.

[Instantrails-users] Can I change "rails_apps" location?
Hi, Question 1 - Anyone know how to change the "rails_apps" location? i.e. so I can have it in a user data area (which gets backed up) rather than under the instantrails installation area? i.e. such that when one (a) goes "open ruby console window" it opens here and (b) when one goes "manage rails applications" it is the new directory that is scanned for rails apps. Question 2 - How to add additional items to the path of a console window that is opened via instantrails via the "open ruby console window" thanks in advance
Hi all, Are most instantrails developers using webbrick for DEV testing on the local PC? Is anyone using Jetty? (I read this was better) Any advice re how to swap out the InstantRails launching of Webbrick and replace this with Jetty? Cheers

It may be the problem I''ve experienced, somewhere in the winsock layer. Try entering the following whilst logged into a windows accoutn with ADMIN rights: netsh winsock reset Run up webbrick after this and try again. For me this would fix it. Don''t ask me what the problem really is or why the above works :) Cheers Greg Quoting Curt Hibbs <curt.hibbs at gmail.com>:> Is your browser configured to use a proxy server?
