Hey there 🙂

Wondering what’s up with this… I just installed the Globalize plug-in  
in my current project, ran the rake globalize:setup script, then added  
“include Globalize” to my config/environment.rb.

Now, when I try to start my server, I get:

=\> Booting Mongrel (use ‘script/server webrick’ to force WEBrick)  
=\> Rails application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)  
=\> Call with -d to detach  
=\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server  
\*\* Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000  
\*\* Starting Rails with development environment…

Can anybody help me out? I don’t know what’s wrong here 😕

Thanks,  
Daniel 🙂

Sorry, sorry, I’m an idiot! Just had the include statement too early in  
the environment.rb file. D’oh! 😃
