hi all,  
I downloaded locomotive for MAC (StandardRailsMar2007.dmg) and installed  
the package in Appliactions/My Rails . I had given given all the  
parameters in locomotive.yml as below  
mode: development  
bundle: /Applications/“My Rails”/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle  
port: 3010  
runs\_at\_launch: 0  
identifier: ProjectX

and i am trying to start the server , but it is not starting.Its giving  
errors

The server starts if bundle path is  
/Applications/MyRails/Bundles/standardRailsMar2007.locobundle and the  
difference is MyRails folder has space in the above.  
Why the server doesnt start if folder name has spaces.Is this a bug? and  
how can i resolve this situtation, can any one guide me in the right  
direction

Thanks & Regards  
SKiranKumar

Some install things don’t accomodate for spaces, I guess. Could reask  
in the rails group I suppose.
