After having successfully created and run a few RoR test projects via  
RadRails in MyEclipse, I imported one from an Oracle tutorial (http://  
[www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/saternos-rails.html?\_template=/ocom/print](http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/saternos-rails.html?_template=/ocom/print)),  
showing how to deal with a legacy Oracle database.

Unfortunately, after having configured database.yml, I get the  
following error message when I attempt to start either a Mongrel or a  
WEBrick server:

-e:4:in `load’: no such file to load - script/server (LoadError) from -  
e:4

Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be? Could it be linked  
to the fact that the code was written over a year ago, probably for a  
previous version of RoR? And if so, maybe there are just a few files  
to tweak…

Thanks.

The problem was due to an extra top-level directory inside the Zip  
file. After importing, I moved all directories and files out of it,  
deleted it, and it runs fine now.
