I am unable to run ruby on rails application. I setup the database and  
loaded database schema. When I run:

ruby script/server -e production

It says:

=\> Booting Mongrel  
=\> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on [http://0.0.0.0:3000](http://0.0.0.0:3000)  
=\> Call with -d to detach  
=\> Crtl-C to shutdown server

and it just stays there. If I go to the directory where the app is  
installed, it just lists the directory of files and doesn’t run the app.  
Any suggestions?

Thanks

just call [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) or http://:3000 in a browser

If I try to open [http://myserver:3000/](http://myserver:3000/) in a browser, I just get a  
connection timed out error. I also tried to run it in development mode:

ruby script/server -e development

But I get the following error:

=\> Booting Mongrel  
=\> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on 0.0.0.0:3000  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mysql/1-2.7/lib/mysql.so [BUG] Segmentation  
fault  
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-06-20 patchlevel 22) [i686-linux]

I can view the directory of files and code in the browser if I just go  
to myserver/railsapp
