How define his own server with Rails 3

Question

Hi,

I want use always thin when I start my rails server in development mode.

By default it webrick to use. So I add thin in my Gemfile

gem 'thin', :group => 'development'

Now If I want use it to launch my server in development mode I mandatory define it.

bundle exec rails s thin

If I don't define it, it's always use webrick. So How define using thin by default ?

Answer 1

Instead of rails s just type :

>> thin start -p 3000

Where 3000 is the number of your port.

You can also specify an enviornment :

>> thin start -e production

Answer 2

Assuming you are using bundler 1.0.x and your gems is vendorized:

bundle exec vendor/ruby/1.9.1/bin/thin start
