Rails - Apr 2006 - Error on new install "View Application''s Environment"

Hello. I recently installed Rails on Gentoo, and did a "rails 
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/parallel_bible/" just to test. Everything 
*seemed* to work fine, but when I clicked on the "View your 
Application''s Environment" link, this happens (screenshot
attached):
http://thegoban.com/rorerror.png

Any ideas? Is this normal? I know it''s not actually stopping me from 
doing anything, but its a bit unnerving to not know why this is 
happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks!

Most likely the problem is the rails root is not in the root of the 
domain, so when the ajax request goes to:
"http://192.168.1.23/parallel_bible/public/rails/info/properties"

the routing is expecting:
"http://192.168.1.23/rails/info/properties"

Rails doesnt like being in a subfolder, and I haven''t gotten routing + 
asset helpers to behave nicely from a subfolder.  I suggest testing a 
new app from a subdomain rather than a directory.

That said, there are way to get rails working in a subdirectory, it''s 
just a bit more footwork, and I am unfamilar with the procedure.

I thought this might be the problem too, but when I did "updatedb
&&
locate rails_info/properties", it didn''t find anything anywhere on
the
system. If it was simply a matter of incorrect routing, then surely the 
correct destination would be *somewhere* on the machine, right?

That route is specifically looking for "/rails/info/properties" the 
trouble is if you actually go there, that url is not being handled by 
rails.  And if your in the rails sub directory, then it will never match 
that route.  So you wont be able to get to it at all.
