I’ve just install Eclipse with RadRails for the first time.

I’m trying to follow the very simple DemoAppPart1 at

[http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/DemoAppPart1](http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/DemoAppPart1)

When I click on the DepotServer and try to start it WEBbrick is not  
starting.

I can cd to the base directory and run script/server and it works.  
Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

## Thanks Greg

Are you using Radrails 0.6.2?

I must have something pretty basic messed up.

Even the simple Say controller generation is not working for me.

ruby script/generate controller Say

appears in the terminal window, but it is not actually executing.

Thoughts any one?

I think so, but I don’t know how to verify.

What I did this afternoon was:

Install eclipse from SUSE distro DVD.  
Start eclipse (as root)  
Go to help - software updates - Find and Install  
Search for new features to install  
Added the 2 new remote sites described on the radrails site  
checked the 2 packages from the sites. (one per site).

Exited eclipse and restarted as a normal user.

And then I started the tutorial.

Never mind,

In the below I left out setting the path to ruby.

I had ignored the install tutorial at

[http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/InstallRadRails](http://wiki.awebfactory.com.ar/awebfactory/published/InstallRadRails)

because I thought I was already past that stage.

I told you I was a newbie with this.

Hi, I’m having similar issue. I have installed InstantRails 1.3. Then  
I  
installed RadRails 0.6.2. Now, when I create a new project called demo  
and  
start the server nothing happens. I don’t even get an error message.  
Is  
there something that I’m missing because I followed the installation.  
If  
anyone has any ideas as to how to resolve this issue, it would be  
greatly  
appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

-Conrad

I think you need Eclipse 3.2 to run the current Radrails.

Check the .eclipseproduct file for the eclipse version.

I only use the standalone RadRails, so I don’t know how to check the  
plugin’s version.

As I said, my issue turned out to be that Eclipse was looking for ruby  
in the wrong place.

The default path was /usr/local/bin/ruby not /usr/bin/ruby

I’ve been using Radrails standalone & plugin versions for quite a while  
now -  
just did a fresh install of Eclipse 3.2M6, and Radrails 0.6.2 plugin on  
Fedora FC5 - still issues with the server control, despite changelog  
claims

my advice? run your server from a console, don’t waste your time - even  
when  
it does work it’s a lot slower

the generators also have a habit of borking, something else i just avoid

apart from the teething troubles it’s still a promising IDE - if i could  
just  
get a decent shell plugin for eclipse i’d be laughing \<= open to tips!
