Hello, you don’t need access to the internet to view your app on localhost unless the application has dependencies that are on an external network (like a remote database server, etc). After you run script server, make sure it is actually starting. Take a look at development.log in the log directory of your rails application and make sure there are no errors during startup. Just to make sure there is nothing missing in your hosts file, you can also try [http://127.0.0.1:3000/store/index](http://127.0.0.1:3000/store/index) . Good luck and I hope this helps you somehow.

That Tingling Sensation … that is: the error message means, that your mongrel-server is working alright. But: it’s the error message for an Application running in production-mode check the following: - is the mysql server running ? is it listening on port 3306 on the localhost ? - are you accessing the mysqlserver (look into database.yml) via the localhost or 127.0.0.1-address - what error-messages are there in the production.log ? - have you given the right permissions to the user that is described in database.yml ? - is the phpmyadmin working within instantrails ? (should be [http://127.0.0.1/mysql](http://127.0.0.1/mysql) or something similar. hope this confuses you less than it helps phil On 19 Sep., 15:17, Guo Y.
