Unable to run ruby on rails app?

Question

I am unable to run ruby on rails application. I setup the database and loaded database schema. When I run:

ruby script/server -e production

It says:

=> Booting Mongrel
=> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Crtl-C to shutdown server

and it just stays there. If I go to the directory where the app is installed, it just lists the directory of files and doesn't run the app. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Answer 1

Have you opened http://localhost:3000/ in a browser?

The '=> Booting Mongrel ...' stuff means the server is running, you just need to navigate a browser to it.

Answer 2

You are starting your server in production mode. Use the development mode fpr debugging, it will give you a better log output.

Run ruby script/server -e development
