Here’s how I did it 1. downloaded and installed ruby 1.8.6 2. open command propmt, C:\gem install rails --include-dependencies 3. C:\>rails test 4. C:\>cd test 5. C:\>ruby script/server 6. Done! i’m thinking, if it’s hanging on the Booting WEBrick, you could also try C:\>gem install mongrel then use mongrel and see how that works for ya. HTH ~Jeremy ---

Hi cool kid, just quick question, is there any software(Norton, Anti-Spy) which is blocking web-rick server from registering to port 3000, just confirm it. and one more thing after you run ruby script/server, don’t kill/stop wait for it terminate, i guess it may through error saying unable to register port 3000. etc., …(your web-rick server should be allowed to access port 3000(default) or which ever you are using).
