Hi all,

I’m trying to use InstantRails to host a Rails app which can be  
accessed from the internet. I’m very new to this, and can’t seem to  
get Apache to play along. I’ve set the ServerName to my static IP and  
set the Listen option to the same, but can’t seem to access anything  
externally. I’m running this under Windows, and have all relevant  
firewalls switched off. Can anyone help?

Many thanks,  
Adam
