Hello,
I am new to developing in Rails. I created a rails project using 'rails mydiary'. Used 'ruby script/generate scaffold Entry title:string content:text' to generate scaffolding for the entry table. Did 'rake db:migrate' to create the entry table. Then ran 'ruby script/server'. All of this worked. I get the message 'Rails 2.3.3 application starting onhttp://0.0.0.0:3000'.
But when I go to 'http://0.0.0.0:3000'on FireFox I get a 'can't establish connection to server' error. I tried IE but this did not also work.
0.0.0.0 is not a valid ip address. When mongrel etc says it is listening on 0.0.0.0 that is merely shorthand for 'i am listening on all the ip addresses that this machine has'. Pick anyone of those (eg 127.0.0.1) and you should be ok.
