My app was fine before “rake freeze\_edge” but after, I can no longer  
boot up  
webrick.

I’m on Win Xp MySql backend and this is what I get

=\> Booting WEBrick…  
./script/…/config/…/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active\_support/core\_ext/ker  
nel/agnostics.rb:7:in `': Exec format error - rake tmp:create (Errno::ENOEXEC) from ./script/../config/../vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support /core_ext/kernel/agnostics.rb:7:in`’

`re

from script/server:3

Why does edge rails hate me so! Any help or insight or things to look  
for  
would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Curtis,

I’m also having these problems, so I guess I can’t help you, but just  
for everyone’s interest: I use Rake 0.7.0, Ruby 1.8.4. on Windows using  
MySQL 4.1. and EgdeRails. I did all this because of having the RJS  
templates and as RJS isn’t working somehow, I deleted my vendor/rails  
(to having WEBrick run again) and I wait for Rails 1.1… It’s sad but  
I didn’t find any solution on this.

A few people are having this issue:

I had the same windows issue

comment line (28) out as below in the following file -  
vendor\rails\railties\lib\commands\server.rb

#silence\_stderr { `rake tmp:create` }

You can run rake tmp:create manually if needed.

Then webrick ran fine for me. I have not followed through any further  
as to  
why this is an issue.

Hope this helps
