Wanting to run the script/server in debugger mode, my dialog looked like this: ruby script/server --debugger =\> Booting WEBrick =\> Rails 2.3.4 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000) You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install OK, so I installed: sudo gem install ruby-debug Password: Successfully installed ruby-debug-0.10.3 1 gem installed Installing ri documentation for ruby-debug-0.10.3… Installing RDoc documentation for ruby-debug-0.10.3… Great, so I try again: ruby script/server --debugger =\> Booting WEBrick =\> Rails 2.3.4 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000) You need to install ruby-debug to run the server in debugging mode. With gems, use 'gem install Hey wait, didn’t I just do that? Yes, I did! So what gives? Anyone know what I need to do to enable debugging on the server? Bryan L. ---
