Hello People,

I have created a tiny Rails app for my personal use. I want to host it  
on my personal computer (just like PHP can be hosted easily). I use  
Ubuntu Linux, can any one tell me how to do it? Is there any  
documentation? Has any one tried it out?

Thanks in advance.

Assuming Rails 3, and that you have run all migrations locally; in the  
console/terminal, type:

rails server

You can then access the app locally at: [http://0.0.0.0:3000/](http://0.0.0.0:3000/) (again  
assuming that defaults have been kept.).
