Hi Sandeep,

Hi,    I tried bot trunk and release tag 1.0.1 on my local pc on windows    but it gives the error when i run the command    ---- ruby script/backgroundrb start   error is ---

script/backgroundrb:28:in `fork': the fork() function is unimplemented on this machine (NotImplementedError)         from script/backgroundrb:28

==== Help....

Thanks, Sandeep

You can't use backgroundrb in windows so that's why the new versions don't work. The only version that works is a very old version that you are probably using. May I recommend doing what I used to do (develop on a virtual machine of linux on your PC or using Cygwin) or even better get a mac (what I am doing now).
