Which book are you referring to? I ask because my memory isn''t very good (old age) and I don''t seem to remember a "hello, world" example in the ''Agile Development w/ Rails'' book. Are you referring to the Ruby book -- the one with a pickaxe on the cover? Additional info would probably help, too. What version of Ruby are you running? Are you using Rails 1.1? 1.0? Are you connecting via Apache? Lighty? What database are using, etc. And finally, usually Rails will spew out an error message upon... well, errors. If you see any, that would be good info to know, too.

I think you''ll need to give us a bit more detail about what you did already. You did run script/server from the command line didn''t you? -- Robert Jones
