Hi,

I have just upgraded from WEBRick to Mongrel and now when I start my  
rails server with script/server Mongrel is used instead. This is fine  
until I try to navigate to a page when it just stops.

It looks like a dependency issue to me. There is barely any code in my  
rails app at the moment and the only dependency is on REXML.

I have Ruport 1.2.1 and 1.2.3 gems installed too.

```auto
D:\Temp\reporting>ruby script/server
=> Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick)
=> Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000
** Starting Rails with development environment...
** Rails loaded.

Any idea what I am missing?

Thanks,

Looks like you forgot to require ‘ruport’ in environment.rb.
