I’m trying to get Rails up and running using a PostgreSQL database, and
unfortunately I’m doing this on a machine I don’t administer directly.
I can get Rails responding using the WEBrick server, and ‘hello, world’
pages work fine.
However, after creating a database (on a seperate server) I can’t seem
to
get Rails speaking to it. At first, the Postgres gem wasn’t installed,
but
I had the sysadmin put that in. Now, though, I’m getting this error:

So, it looks like it’s something with memory, but… I can’t figure out
what. Has anyone else run into this? I’m running against a 7.3
database,
though, I’d heard Rails likes 8 and later, although, I’d also heard that
had
been fixed.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Colin F.
