I have been following the instructions found in Apple’s Developer  
Guide to developing ROR with Leopard found here:  
[http://developer.apple.com/tools/developonrailsleopard.html](http://developer.apple.com/tools/developonrailsleopard.html)

I’ve gotten to the point where I’m supposed to execute “script/  
server” (specifically, from the XCode run menu, but I get the same  
error doing it from the console)…the result should be this:

But instead, I get this error, and I have no idea what it means:  
[Session started at 2008-09-15 10:31:35 -0400.]  
/Users/dnguyen/Desktop/ror/expenses/script/server:2:in `require’: no  
such file to load – /Users/dnguyen/Desktop/ror/expenses/script/…/  
config/boot (LoadError)  
from /Users/dnguyen/Desktop/ror/expenses/script/server:2

The Debugger has exited with status 1.The Debugger has exited with  
status 1.

Well it’s saying it tried to load /Users/dnguyen/Desktop/ror/expenses/  
config/boot.rb  
but that it couldn’t find the file. Is it there ?

Yeah, that was it, the config folder never got created during the  
initial setup. Just didn’t expect that to happen. Thanks.
