Rails demo not showing up

Hi,

Can’t get the rails demo to run. I’ve started the webrick server. Here
is what the output looks like:


[root@chat demo]# ruby script/server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 2.3.3 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2009-08-18 21:29:41] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
[2009-08-18 21:29:41] INFO ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-linux]
[2009-08-18 21:29:41] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=10886
port=3000


I typed http://localhost:3000 in my browser, and it didn’t work. Need
some troubleshooting advice. I am trying to use ruby on a centos
machine. Thanx in advance.

This looks fine. WEBrick is running on port 3000.

What do you mean by “it didn’t work”? What did you see in the browser?

it is ur server problem and webrick server is working proper so that
first of all fix localhost server probolem.

Hi. This (centos) machine already has an apache web server running.
There are some web apps (in production) working on it too. Do you
suppose having two or more web servers are causing the problem?

Let me get this straight. You have a server {somewhere} on which you
are starting rails demo application using ssh and from your local
windows machine you are trying to access it with http://localhost:3000.
is this what you are trying?

http://www.classifiedscript.in
Open source classifieds script in rails.

I’ve typed the following at my prompt:

system-config-securitylevel

It popped up the Security Level Dialog box where it says my firewall
is disabled. None of the requests are hitting my web server program in
spite of this…

Just a thought, but you may want to check your iptables to make sure
that port 3000 is accessible:

http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Network/IPTables

On most of the Nix boxes I set up, I harden the firewall pretty good
so that only certain ports are accessible – in fact, I only let port
80 for web and port XXXXX for SSH to do anything. Your setup may just
be hardened in this manner as well.

What is the url that you are trying to access your demo app?
Is the Firefox browser on the same Centos machine? Firefox is local to
where you are running webrick?
If you open a different shell/window and run the command netstat -tapn
is the server listening to the webrick port? (3000?) does it say
127.0.0.1:3000 or 0.0.0.0:3000 if 3000 is the port you started with.
When you say ‘acts like a webserver’ does that mean you ran ./script/
server on the demo app?
Open a new shell and do wither wget http://127.0.0.1:3000/ or telnet
127.0.0.1 3000 What happens?

Hi all,

I guess I’ve fixed the issue. When I typed http://0.0.0.0:3000 it
worked. I had done this exercise on other machines where webrick
booted on localhost. I was expecting localhost to be the case here
too. Didn’t see the webrick console messages ! I even thought that
0.0.0.0 was equivalent to localhost, but its not.

Clarification: The centos machine acts like a web server. I’ve
installs ruby, and rails on it. I was just trying to execute the demo
app. I’ve booted my webrick server. It runs fine. But on trying to
view the demo app via my firefox browser, the browser can’t establish
a connection. No windows machine involved here.
