I’ve installed Eclipse 3.3 and associated radrails plugins on windows  
xp. i’m unable to start the webrick server after creating a new rails  
project. The error is

An internal error occurred during: “Starting server”.  
org/rubypeople/rdt/internal/launching/RubyRuntime

which i know isn’t very much info, but that’s all i get in the dialog  
box which appears. any ideas what might be going one?

Do you get the same errors when starting webrick from the command  
line, outside of Eclipse?

Hey Dave,  
In Eclipse, go to Window menu and preferences  
item … in that go to Rails → configuration hierarchy.

and set the path for rails as per the example given over there.

Try it.
