First of all thanks a lot to the guys who answered the other topic. Host: Pair Networks - FreeBSD v.4.8-Stable - [peulik.pair.com](http://peulik.pair.com) PHP and MySQL services running (is this a problem?) First of all, after I establish the ssh connection I’ve to type, as I mentioned in the old thread, GEM\_PATH ~/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 otherwise the ruby installation is not found. position of the executable: %which ruby /usr/local/bin/ruby May be this the problem? this should be the directory of the default pair istallation. Since I installed a new version which is placed in /home/“myaccount”/bin I guess this could be the problem. Is there a way to correct it? anyway, if I type %ruby -v i get ruby 1.8.3 (2005-09-21) [i386-freebsd4.8] so I guess it is correct * * * ## %rails -v Rails 1.0.0 Well, everything seems to work. ## % cd public\_html (my site directory is placed in public\_html/sito1) %rails testapp create create app/controllers create app/helpers create app/models create app/views/layouts create config/environments create components create db create doc create lib create lib/tasks create log create public/images create public/javascripts create public/stylesheets create script/performance create script/process create test/fixtures create test/functional create test/mocks/development create test/mocks/test create test/unit create vendor create vendor/plugins create Rakefile create README create app/controllers/application.rb create app/helpers/application\_helper.rb create test/test\_helper.rb create config/database.yml create config/routes.rb create public/.htaccess create config/boot.rb create config/environment.rb create config/environments/production.rb create config/environments/development.rb create config/environments/test.rb create script/about create script/breakpointer create script/console create script/destroy create script/generate create script/performance/benchmarker create script/performance/profiler create script/process/reaper create script/process/spawner create script/process/spinner create script/runner create script/server create script/plugin create public/dispatch.rb create public/dispatch.cgi create public/dispatch.fcgi create public/404.html create public/500.html create public/index.html create public/favicon.ico create public/robots.txt create public/images/rails.png create public/javascripts/prototype.js create public/javascripts/effects.js create public/javascripts/dragdrop.js create public/javascripts/controls.js create doc/README\_FOR\_APP create log/server.log create log/production.log create log/development.log create log/test.log %cd testapp %ruby script/server =\> Booting WEBrick… =\> Rails application started on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000) =\> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options now I can reach the index page of the application for few seconds at [http://www.micheleongaro.com:3000](http://www.micheleongaro.com:3000) ## then Killed % This is the end.

My guess is your host is running a process that kills all processes of a certain type every few seconds. Personally I’m with them on this if they’re a shared host - Rails in development mode eats RAM really fast, and on a shared host this rapidly creates performance issues. Develop on your own machine, deploy to them. – Phillip H. removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid ---
