Does anyone know of a good hosting company that is offering free ruby  
on rails hosting? I have a 1and1 account, but as of yet they do not  
support rails. Thanks.

A quick Google sent me to [http://www.freeonrails.com](http://www.freeonrails.com). Anyway, try  
posting to the Rails mailing list.

Hello. I am hitting a nasty error where the Ruby interpreter is only  
expecting one argument for a particular method call, but it is actually  
declared to have three arguments. The error is happening when trying to  
invoke this method…

def dispatch(cgi = nil, session\_options =  
ActionController::CgiRequest::DEFAULT\_SESSION\_OPTIONS, output = $stdout)  
…  
end

Below are the two error messages when using two different web servers to  
try to invoke the request:

#\<ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (3 for 1)\>  
[“C:/sdks/ruby/1.8.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.4/lib/webrick\_server.rb:115:in  
`dispatch’”,

…and…

Error calling Dispatcher.dispatch #\<ArgumentError: wrong number of  
arguments (3 for 1)\>  
C:/sdks/ruby/1.8.4/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-0.3.13.3-mswin32/lib/mongrel/rails.rb:73:in  
`dispatch’

The real pain comes in when looking at the source for both cases,  
webrick\_server.rb:115 and mongrel/rails.rb:73 and noticing that the  
calls _do_ have three arguments, and the method definition is expecting  
three arguments.

Any idea why the interpreter would only think one argument required for  
this method?

thanks,

~harris

I’d double check that the method that is invoked is actually the one you  
think. Maybe there is a dynamic method redefinition or some other  
method shadows the method you think is called.

Did you try to check the method? You can do something like this:

irb(main):001:0\> s=“s”  
=\> “s”  
irb(main):002:0\> m = s.method :gsub  
=\> #\<Method: String#gsub\>  
irb(main):003:0\> p m; p m.arity  
#\<Method: String#gsub\>  
-1  
=\> nil

With that you see where the method is defined and the # of args.
