Rails - Jun 2005 - breakpoint question

I''m very much enjoying reading the new Agile book on Rails, and
everything''s pretty much going smoothly. Except, that is, for using
breakpoint.
following the text''s instruction, I do the following: 1. insert a call
to breakpoint() in my code, 2. run script/breakpointer (and get the
correct message "no connection to breakpoint ...yada yada") and then,
3)
try to use the browser to prod my app to make it hit the breakpoint

It is in step 3 where I get lost. In my browser I type
http://localhost:3000/store/ and also I''ve tried the 42531 port
mentioned when I started the breakpointer script. In either case I''m
getting "connection refused" errors from my browser.

I''m missing something simple here, aren''t I? Or is something
fowled?

Thanks,
Howard

Besides running script/breakpointer, you need to run (in a different  
shell) script/server still.  Are you running the server also, or just  
breakpointer?
