Is there a way to avoid having to type ruby script/server to test my  
site?

Is there a way to eliminate :3000 from [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)

U can use Phusion Passenger to run in development instead of Webrick or  
Mongrel.  
Using the “RailsEnv” statement pointing to development in the virtual  
host definition.

Create an alias like so in your .bash\_profile or wherever:

alias rss=‘ruby script/server --port:80’
