I'm having a newbie problem getting Instant Rails to start WEBrick.

I've created a demo project by type Rails Demo at the InstantRails command prompt. This worked fine.

I then navigate to the Demo directory and type ruby script/server. I get the following errors...

C:\InstantRails\InstantRails\rails_apps\demo>ruby script/server => Booting WEBrick... => Rails application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options [2006-10-24 18:33:24] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2006-10-24 18:33:24] INFO ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-mswin32] [2006-10-24 18:33:24] WARN TCPServer Error: Bad file descriptor - bind(2) C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:73:in `initializ e': Bad file descriptor - bind(2) (Errno::EBADF)         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:73: in `new'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:73: in `create_listeners'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:70: in `each'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/utils.rb:70: in `create_listeners'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:75 :in `listen'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/server.rb:63 :in `initialize'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/webrick/httpserver.r b:24:in `initialize'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1. 6/lib/webrick_server.rb:59:in `new'          ... 6 levels...         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/c ustom_require.rb:27:in `gem_original_require'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/c ustom_require.rb:27:in `require'         from C:/InstantRails/InstantRails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupp ort-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:147:in `require'         from script/server:3

Does anybody have an idea of how i might fix this?

Thanks.

Ron,

Check your config/database.yaml and config/environment.rb files and make sure they exist and are configured correctly.

They exist. I'm not really sure what i'm looking for in them, but i didn't touch them. I'm assuming Instant Rails automatically creates the database for you. I also cannot get the sample cookbook projects to start when i click on 'start with mongrel', the dos window closes right away.

No, rails does not create the database for you. The config/database.yaml file will have default names for your development, test, and production databases, but you still have to physically create the database (and change the names if you choose a different name).

To see what's going on with Mongrel, open a Ruby console window through Instant Rails, navigate into the cookbook directory, and run the command "mongrel_rails". Now you should be ably to see why its aborting without the window going away on you.

Sorry, I should have said to run the command "mongrel_rails start". You can also force mongrel to do debug logging with "mongrel_rails start -B", then look for the log file in your Rails app's "log" subdirectory.
