Hey,

Have you found out what the problem is ? I’ve came down over the same  
thing

My system config is :  
MAC OS X (10.4.9)  
Ruby - 1.8.6  
Rails - 1.2.3

I’m using WEBrick.  
I assume there might be a problem with some default paths WEBrick uses  
but Im not sure

Hello again,

I’m not sure if its any help but I assume you needed a functional setup  
really fast and not yet going into production.

On my system everything works find when I use mongrel (maybe you should  
consider it as a solution if not yet tried it)

Just use

sudo gem install mongrel

U can test it by creating a simple rails app

rails myApp  
cd myApp/  
mongrel\_rails start

Im not sure yet why it fails with lighttpd or webrick (at least on my  
system) but if I’ll find something I will keep you posted

Hope that helps
