Help running new application, Webrick not starting properly

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hello All, I've installed ruby 1.8.6, Gems 1.1.0, Rails 2.0.2. I've installed sqlite3 dll, reg, & exe in the ruby/bin directory and all "seems" installed properly. So the problem is this; I run 'rails appname' and it generates the structure no problem. Then immediately thereafter I try to run from the 'appname' directory 'ruby scritpt/server' just to see if the webrick server will start up. But it doesn't, instead I get the error below. Consequently the server does not start, thus the problem. I do have a copy of InstantRails-2 that seems to work just fine; I can 'Manage Rails Applications' start a 'Create Rails Application' console then run 'rails appname' and then immediately run the server, which does start and run (http://localhost:3000/ resolves with standard 'Rails' greeting, yet should I browse to http://localhost:3000/appname I get the following error; No route matches "/newapp" with {:method=>:get}

Several questions come to mind. 1. Does a fresh 'rails appname' application, actually require a database to be running to start the webserver. 2. Is this a pathing problem in the windows console started from the 'Start'>Programs>Accessories>Command Prompt 3. I run realize that I need to run 'scaffold' or 'generate' something after the 'rails appname' command, but shouldn't the webserver start nonetheless?

What in environment.rb on line 38 ?

C:\ruby\appname>ruby script/server => Booting WEBrick... C:/ruby/appname/config/environment.rb:38: undefined method `time_zone=' for #<Rails::Configuration:0x2ba4ecc> (NoMethodE rror)

You can set your time zone by replacing 38th line in your environment with... config.active_record.default_timezone = :utc

Hi Vapor, Hi Fred, Thank you both for the help. Vapor, I cut and paste the line above into the env...rb file and it's working. Many, Many Thanks

The question is why is the environment.rb template file in gems/ rails-2.0.2.xxxx/environments still referencing config.time_zone rather than config.active_record.default_timezone? Shouldn't this be reported as an issue?
