How do I run two rails apps on one BitNami Windows install at the same time?

Question

Noob Alert. I am learning RoR, have Windows 7, so I downloaded the latest BitNami stack and installed that.

Ran through the Rails guides and created my first application 'A blog' and everything worked fine.

However, I want to move on to my second rails app, but I don't know how to navigate to it. The first one was at localhost:<port>, and my routes.rb file has map.root => :controller => "home".

When I double click on the index.html file in my 'newapp/public' folder I see the 'Welcome to Rails' page that indicates that this new app was created successfully.

However when I go to localhost/newapp/index I don't see it. I get a routing error:

Routing Error

No route matches "/AddressBook/index" with {:method=>:get}

Help!

[Edit] bump Has anyone gotten a chance to look into this?

Answer 1

I assume you're starting the first server with something like this:

ruby script/server

Start the second server like this:

ruby script/server -p 3001

You can pass whatever you want instead of 3001. By default, with no -p option, it runs on port 3000.

EDIT: in response to your comment: first thing, make sure it's not a path issue. Find where that file is and make sure the enclosing folder is in your path.

If that doesn't help, I'd try doing development on SQLite instead of MySQL.
