Newbie question - script/server doesn't run without explicit

Rails
1

Hi,

This one is probably an easy one, but is very troubling to me. I can’t
just
say:

script/server

and watch WEBrick start. I have to say:

ruby script/server

The first line in the server script is:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

which invokes ruby just fine on the command line. For fun, I changed
the
line to point directly to my executable:

#!/usr/local/bin/ruby

But still, same result. I just get my prompt back. But invoking the
script
explicitly with ruby in front of it actually starts WEBrick.

This may seem minor, but none of the online examples I see for UNIX uses
the
explicit ruby command. #! should work fine, right?
I happen to be experiencing other problems (with FastCGI and Typo), and
I’m
wondering if they might be related.

Ruby 1.8.4
Rails 0.14.4
Linux Fedora Core 4

Thanks,
Steve

P.S. Same goes for other scripts, like script/process/spawner. So the
problem is global.

Are your scripts executable?

chmod a+x script/server.

Yes, all of my scripts are all executable. In fact, I ran chmod -R
777 *over the whole hierarchy, to eliminate any potential permission
issues.
