Hi,

I am trying to get an ROR app moved to a new server. I have ROR  
successfully installed on the new server, ROR version 1.8.5, mysql 5.1.

I imported my mysql database into a mysql 5.1 db on my new server.

I put all the files from the old app onto the new server, then ran  
./script/server, then . . . nothing. What am I doing wrong?

Charlie

What does the logs say? What output do you get to the screen? Anything  
else? Please provide all diagnostics you can think of.

Got it working – just a typo in the new name / url. Thanks for  
responding.
