Instantrails users - Jul 2008 - Problem loading page error - Instant Rails 2.0 installation issue

Hi,

I am in the process of installing Instant Rails 2.0, earlier encountered
"502 proxy error". Bill Walton''s suggestion on stopping
Apache server
solved the problem. I was able to go the www.cookbook.com website.
"Thanks Bill for your suggestion"

Next started the Typo process:
Running Typo

    * In the main menu, select Rails Applications > Manage Rails
Applications...

    * Check the checkbox next to the typo application. 

    * Click on the Start with Mongrel button. A console window will appear. This
contains the typo web app running through Mongrel.

    * Wait a few seconds to make sure the Typo is fully initialized. Open your
browser and go to:

    HTTP://typo 

You should be taken through a series of admin setup screens.

Adding more tools

Got the below error:       

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
   
    *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a
few
          moments.

    *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer''s
network
          connection.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make
sure
          that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I am able to browse the internet and go to any other site, but this site
http://typo has problem. My internet connection is fine, because can go
to other sites as well as send email.

Any help is appreciated.

I tried rebooting the machine and had to go through the 1st step of cookbook 
    *  In the main menu, select Rails Applications > Manage Rails
Applications...

    * Check the checkbox next to the cookbook application. 

    * Click on the Start with Mongrel button. A console window will appear. This
contains the cookbook web app being served by the Mongrel server..

    * Wait a few seconds to make sure the cookbook web app is fully initialized,
open your browser and go to:

    HTTP://www.mycookbook.com 

Now getting the same error of "Problem loading the page"
The connection was reset
          

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

    *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make

Please advice

It seems to me you missed the step, where you regist
"www.mycookbook.com" with 127.0.0.1, which is your server IP, in the
"Window''s Host File", which you easily can access under  the
"configure" entry of the InstantRails menu. Otherwise your browser
doesn''t know how to translate that URL

In my instance of IntantRails that file looks like this:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a ''#'' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1   www.mycookbook.com
