Rails 3 - rails server wont start

Standard setup according to
rails.info and the blog posts I found
on the subject. Anyway when trying to run the RAILS SERVER command I
receive the following error. I can’t fix it for now and I hope someone
can help.

This is the error log:

I will check it. Thanks!

Damn! :slight_smile:

It works now. Maybe someone should update the guidelines to say
1.9.2-head

Thanks a lot!

Try using ruby 1.9.2-head instead of preview1:

rvm install 1.9.2-head

That’s how it solved this problem for me.
