Hi, I’ve been going through the book Head First RoR, and in it I’ve been asked to make a tickets app, and then an events app. So: $ rails tickets $ cd tickets $ ruby script/generate scaffold ticket name:string seat\_id\_seq:string address:text price\_paid:decimal email\_address:string $ rake db:migrate $ ruby script/server Then I can browse to [http://localhost:3000/tickets](http://localhost:3000/tickets) $ cd … $ rails events $ cd events $ ruby script/generate scaffold event artist:string description:text price\_low:decimal price\_high:decimal event\_date:date $ rake db:migrate at this point if I browse to [http://localhost:3000/tickets](http://localhost:3000/tickets) I can still see it, but if I go to [http://localhost:3000/events](http://localhost:3000/events) then I get the following message: Routing Error No route matches “/events” with {:method=\>:get} If I stop the WEbrick server and start it from within the events dir I get the same error but for tickets. From what I’ve been able to find out, the server is reading from config/routes.rb, but obviously it will take this from the dir that I started WEbrick from. Is there a way I can get both apps to work at the same time, or do I have to start 2 separate instances of the server? Have I missed something obvious?? Any help or input is much appreciated. I’m running OSX 10.6 with Ruby 1.9.1 and Rails 2.3.8 Iain ---

In one terminal: $ cd tickets && script/server In another terminal $ cd events && script/server -p 3001 Then in your browser, you can see tickets at localhost:3000/tickets And you can see events at localhost:3001/events By the way, check and make sure you read it correctly, because this is almost certainly not what you want. Probably they wanted you to make two different scaffolds, not two different applications. ---

Have I missed something obvious?? Yes to all of the above. You have 2 separate apps, so yes, you have to start 2 servers to handle them. You can run them simultaneously by configuring one to use a different port. ---

I had a look and the url’s both use the same port and nothing is mentioned about using other ports. I checked the book’s site for errata but didn’t see anything.

You’ll probably have more luck at [http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk](http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk)
