Hi All, I know zero about Ruby on Rails but hope to learn, and I already have a problem. I downloaded and installed InstantRails, which says it changes nothing on your system. Immediately after that, I started having serious problems with RenderX XEP, which has always run perfectly. I discovered, finally, that my Java installation was corrupt (jre1.6). I had to delete all my InstantRails files, then uninstall and reinstall Java, and now XEP works fine again. Maybe this sounds crazy, but nothing else changed on my machine. Prior to the InstantRails install I had been running XEP for hours with no problem. I stopped briefly to install InstantRails, and the minute I went back to XEP it was screwed up. Please tell me, is there any way that InstantRails can create some sort of conflict with my Java installation? Or corrupt Java? XEP also uses Apache, if that has anything to do with anything. The only other odd thing I noticed is that when I went into add/remove programs to uninstall Java, it listed my Java program as "rarely used", which is not true since I had been using XEP all day every day for the last week or so. Strange. I really want to get InstantRails installed, but I can''t afford to lose XEP, so before I try again I''d appreciate any information or suggestions.

Make sure that the InstantRails PORT NUMBER it wants to run on doesn''t conflict with anything else. And try again!

Okay, then I''ll need to learn how to find/set port numbers. Thank you very much!
