Hi,

annoying problem - i am developing a site with a couple more developers,  
where i am using a linux machine, and they are using a windows machine.  
after i’ve transfered the site from windows to linux, and try to run it  
with lighttpd,

ruby script/server

it crashes with an annoying error, whereas when i run it with webrick,

ruby script/server webrick

it works fine.  
the error populated has something to do with the dispatch file, i think,  
although i’m not quite certain what it wants. (…it does work for  
webrick…)

?

also, i was wondering if anyone could give me some good referances to  
learning about what those dispatch files in the public actually do, etc.  
many thanks in advance,

harp
