Hi,

Let me guess, you are using windows?  
That’s the only reason that RUBY SCRIPT/SERVER would actually work, as  
on  
any other OS, it would force you to use ruby script/server to start the  
server.  
That said, the -P isn’t a valid option, so the script is ignoring it and  
starting the server on the default port (3000).

Cheers  
Simon
