Rails - Mar 2006 - develop multiple apps simultaneously how?

Hi,

I am very early into reading the "Agile Web Development with Rails" 
book, so this will be a very basic question:

I tried starting another app simultaneously with the "depot" app, but 
when I, after creating the database and the stub project try to start 
the server, it tells me that the port is in use (of course it is, by the 
depot application!). Can I tell the server to use a different port so 
that I can play with multiple apps simultaneously?

Thanks!
Ingo

ruby script/server -p 3001

Thanks, Craig!

Trange, but when I run the above command, the server seems to still try 
to use port 3000:


ruby script/server -p 3001
=> Booting lighttpd (use ''script/server webrick'' to force
WEBrick)
=> Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach (requires absolute paths in 
config/lighttpd.conf)
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server (see config/lighttpd.conf for options)
2006-03-12 01:27:57: (network.c.265) can''t bind to port 3000 Address 
already in use

That error happens because you have installed  lighttpd.

You must tell the application to use webrick by:

ruby script/server webrick -p 3001

hmm, sounds buggy. Shouldn''t -p get passed on to lighttpd in this
case? Or is that not possible?

if you are using lighttpd, a simple solution not involving extra ports 
or hostnames is changing up the root path

___lighttpd.conf:

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/a1" {
server.document-root     = "/var/www/a1/public/"
alias.url = ( "/sbs/" => "/var/www/a1/public/" )
server.error-handler-404 = "/dispatch.fcgi"
fastcgi.server = ( ".fcgi" =>
  ( "localhost" =>
      (
        "min-procs" => 1,
        "max-procs" => 1,
        "socket"    => "/var/www/a1/log/fcgi.socket",
        "bin-path"  =>
"/var/www/a1/public/dispatch.fcgi",
        "bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"development" )
      )
  )
)
}
__config/:
ActionController::AbstractRequest.relative_url_root = "/a1"

I think the server command only works with WEBrick. If you''re on  
lightTPD, look for this line in /config/lighttpd.conf:

server.port = 3000
