How to start a rails application w/out using "rails" command

Hello,

I’m importing a project and want to use webrick to look at things
locally, but i’m forced to setup a blank project using “rails” command
in order for webrick to boot. How do i get around this?

Thanks,
Will

Try to use mongrel instead.

gem install mongrel

and then in the project root type.
mongrel_rails start

What error do you get when you try to run script/server without setting
up a new rails project?

My guess is that it’s either not finding the database.yml or the
shebangs (#!/usr/…) are wrong in the script/* files.

Let us know what the error is and we can go from there.

RE to myself -

duh, need to install some of those missing gems. Still wont’ fix the
prev problems in webrick, but mogrel is getting around them.

The warnings are nothing to worry about, but yeah. Gems :slight_smile:
