I just got rails installed on OS X, and when I try .script/server I get  
a -bash: ./script/server: Permission denied error.

I installed ruby in /user/local/bin.

If I do ruby ./script/server it works OK.

Has anyone else run into this? I think it might have something to do  
with the shebang, perhaps?

Thanks.

That’s weird though, because I’m pretty sure that it should have  
executable permissions by default. It doesn’t have anything to do  
with Ruby, but rather the rails command doesn’t seem to be setting  
your permissions correctly (or you changed them). When I run ‘rails  
project’ on OS X, all of my scripts are created with permissions of  
755.

Thanks James! That worked.

Strange.

Unless you checked out code that’s been checked in first on a Win box  
perhaps. This has happened to me.

I’ve just learned that there is a subversion property called  
svn:executable  
which supposedly will make files checked in from windows executable in  
Unix  
systems. I haven’t tested this yet though. It can be set in Tortoise  
by  
right clicking on the file, going into the SVN menu and chosing  
Properties.  
One of the properties in the drop down is called svn:executable. From  
what  
it says, you just need to have this property on the file for it to work.

Neato, huh?
