Instantrails users - Dec 2006 - No Instant Gratification ! Browser can''t access localhost:3000 (IR 1.4)

Hi! I''m learning Ruby on Rails with the Agile Web Development With
Rails
book. I have installed InstantRails 1.4 (under windows xp 2) and after 
doing all steps (gem updates, rails demo, ruby script/server which 
launches WEBrick server), I can''t access the localhost:3000 with the 
browser. I tried 127.0.0.1:3000 in apache config, then with my IP 
address 192.168.1.100:3000 (given by DHCP, I''m behind an ADSL router) 
Firefox says he can''t etablish any connexion with the server at this 
address.

I tried also to "listen 3000" to apache config, but the browser goes
to
InstantRails/www/index.html...  I''ve modified also the wondows
etc/hosts
file...Please, help me!

When you launch the WEBrick server and browse directly to
http://127.0.0.1:3000/ Apache isn''t involved at all, so don''t
waste your
time messing with apache configuration.

Try this:

- Unzip a fresh copy of Instant Rails 1.4 (to make sure you''re starting
clean).

- Start the Instant Rails manager (instalrails.exe), and make sure that the
MySQL server starts up (Apache doesn''t matter, because you
won''t be using
it).

- Open a Ruby Console Windows through the Instant Rails menus (this is
important because it puts IT''s copy of Ruby on the system path in that
console).

- Move into the preinstalled cookbook sample app (i.e., "cd
cookbook").

- Start WEBrick (i.e., "ruby script\server")

- Wait WEBrick to say it is listening on port 3000, and then browse to
http://127.0.0.1:3000/

You should see the cookbook app. If you don''t, post the console log
from
WEBrick and we should be able to figure out what''s going on.

I had to issue on XP "netsh winsock reset" to "unstick" my
connection
