Instantrails users - Apr 2008 - App won''t start -- and error flashes up too quickly

Hi everyone,

I''ve broken a rails app -- when I start it with mongrel inside
InstantRails
2.0, it brings up the console window, which pauses, flashes a message for
about 1ms then kills the window. <app>/logs is empty.

Possible options inside InstantRails:

1. find a way of preventing the console window from disappearing so I can
see the error message
2. find where the message is logged

thoughts?

thanks in advance!

Julian,

When you are inside Instant Rails you can go to a command prompt.  Go to the
command prompt from within InstantRails to your application directory.  It
should be something like rails_apps\myapp.  When you are there you can start
the server manually by typing:

ruby script\server

Assuming Ruby is in your path this should run or attempt to run the mongrel
server.

I hope this helps.
