I’m starting a new project with ruby on rails, and I put a fresh  
version of 1.7 rails on my external hard drive to use. I succesfully  
generated the new project files, but when I go to start the server,  
using InstantRails, it says it is operating on 0.0.0.0:3000, isn’t  
this supposed to be 127.0.0.1:3000? I haven’t gotten a chance to work  
with RoR, for about a month, so I can’t be certain, but I could’ve  
sworn…Anyway, when I go to 0.0.0.0:3000, it displays a “Cannot  
Display this Page” Page. Another detail that I’m not sure if it is  
important or not, but every time I launch InstantRails, it says "would  
you like to change the path from (and then it says some path with  
opensource projects as one of the folder names in the path), to the  
path that InstantRails is launched from.

Thanks for all of you help. If I was unclear, please let me know.

Hmm…Thank you for your suggestion…It worked. The weird thing is  
that when I tried this earlier it didn’t. Anyway, problem resolved.  
Thanks again.
