Hello,

I’m trying to get my application which I imported from SVN running. I  
think everything is ready to go (maybe no postgres) and when I startup  
webrick and go to localhost:3000 i get

“Errno::EINVAL (Invalid argument)”

But nothing else. I can’t see in the logs if there is a postgres  
password error or anything else. Google doesn’t turn up much for this  
problem.

Kinda hit a brick wall here…
