Novice: Pages not available other than server

rubyonrails-talk
1

Hi...

I have RoR installed and apparently working, since a simple http://localhost:3000 displays on the server. But http://ip.address:3000 or http://ip.address:3000/hello doesn't work on other computers. The computers are all behind the same firewall so it's not a firewall port forward issue. Apache pages display correctly.

Probably missing something basic.

Any suggestions? Ubuntu 7.10

Are you getting an 'unable to connect' type of error?

Try netstat -n --tcp --listening on the server. Mongrel (or whatever) should be listening on *:3000. If instead you see 127.0.0.1:3000, then only local connections will get a response.

Yes, that was it, and binding the rails ip to 0.0.0.0 worked like a charm.

Thanks! Appreciate it.
