Hi all: I have been using lighttpd on os x with RoR. It normally works great, however, when I use it for one project, kill the process, then switch to another project and start up using ./script/server, all I get is a blank page. No errors or html.

Hi all: I have an application that runs great on my macbook pro, however, when I move the app to the production linux box, all routes fail except for the one I set up as the default: map.connect '':controller/:action/:id'', :controller => "Employee", :action => "status" I made sure the shebang line in dispatch.* was set to be OS independent

I have an application that requires users to be in a specific age group, or above a certain age. For simplicity sake lets say they have to be at least 18.
