Deployed Rails3 but not showing up outside of server - ruby-on-rails

I just deployed my Rails3 app to a linux server with Capistrano and Unicorn using mysql2. I keep getting the error "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 172.16.128.125" when trying to access the app in a browser.
What is weird is that I see no errors in the ./log/production.log file and if I use lynx on the server, I can render all pages of the app.
What am I missing? It works locally on the server but not outside the server.

Sounds like you might not have Apache running, or port 80 may not be reachable on that machine due to firewalling or routing issues.

Deploying rails app on Digital Ocean with passenger and NGINX

This is the very first app I am deploying so I'm not 100% familiar with the whole process.
Right now, all my code for the app is on my server, and if i run rails s and bind it to my droplet ip, it shows up perfectly(i.e. if i go to myipaddress:3000).
But, if I just go to myipaddress on my browser, i just get a 500 error page.
I am confused about the whole process, do i have to have my rails s running the whole time when deployed and running on the server?
If not what am I doing wrong and how can i fix it so that it just shows up when I go to my droplet ipaddress?
My nginx.conf file has its server name pointed to my droplet ip and its root pointed at my apps root folder.
Also, im not getting any errors logged into my nginx/log/error.log file
First of all you don't need to start server with rails s.
You just need to install passenger and nginx for start application with installation of ruby on rails.
And if you just want to check your app is running or not then start server with rails s into digitalocean and try to open it with browser with `ip:3000' then it will work.
From this Ref. link you can start with passenger and nginx.
Let me know if you need more help.

Virtualbox rails server only accessible externally for some applications

I have an xUbuntu(14.04) virtualBox(4.3.15) server running on Windows 7. I have a 2 sites on the server and when I run rails server for either application it can be accessed internally at localhost:3000 without issue. However, when I access one app externally from a browser on the windows machine at the [virtualbox ip]:3000 the site renders without issue and the other displays 'cannot connect'. Additionally I can ping [virtualbox ip]:3000 for the one site, but the other will receive no response. Just the [virtualbox ip] can be pinged successfully when either site has rails server running.
Both sites are Rails 4.2.0.rc2, Ruby 2.0.0, and WEBrick 1.3.1.
Is there something that needs to be setup specifically so that the 2nd site works?
Haven't been able to locate any differences between the two which might cause an issue.
Was able to determine what the issue was. The one app was starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000 which to my understanding means it is listening on all interfaces, while the other app was starting on http://localhost:3000. The localhost app was therefore not listening for external requests. The solution was to start the rails server with the following.
rails server -b 0.0.0.0
This binds the app to the 0.0.0.0 ip address and I can now access it outside of my virtualbox xUbuntu instance by using [vm ip address]:3000 as the url.

Running Ruby on Rails app on server

I am using Aptana Studio 3 for development of ROR apps. I used run server command and it showed you can access your app on {http//0.0.0.0:3000/}, but when I try to access this URL, it tells me to check your Internet connection. I tried several other ports also but it is not working. I have created/modified the files necessary and migrated the database successfully too. Appreciate any help in running the app over the browser. I am currently using WeBrick Server.
so, in your title you say "on server". what does that mean? when you are running it on a different machine than your own, you need to use the address of that machine or it's domain name. keep in mind that firewall rules might prevent any connection to that server.
when you are ON the machine, via ssh for example, you can try calling the then "local" rails instance with curl http://localhost:3000/ to verify that it is running.

how to deploy ruby on rails application in xampp in windows xp?

I'm very new to Ruby environment ..
I want to run my Ruby on rails Application in apache in xampp on windows xp rather than WeBrick server which is in-built for ruby on rails...
I tried it by adding Virtual host in apache- http.conf file
When i run my application i'm able to see "Welcome Abroad"....
But when i click on "About your application’s environment"
it was showing error like the following
Object not found!
The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
localhost

Apache/2.2.17 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.17 OpenSSL/0.9.8o PHP/5.3.4 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1
To deploy your app with apache you need to use phusion passenger http://www.modrails.com
There are plenty of how-to's around the web and the documentation is good enough to get the service running.
This means your Ruby on Rails server is NOT running.
You need to run your server first.
I made a batch file, start-server.bat which contains
d:
cd "D:\Ruby\Web\rails1"
"C:\RailsInstaller\Ruby1.9.3\bin\ruby.exe" script\rails server
then check the PORT number of the server that is running,
So since the port on the screenshot says 10524, you can run it on
http://localhost:10524/

Apache Tomcat and Ruby

We have Ruby Rails and Apache tomcat servers running on the samw windows server. When the App on Apache Tomcat is installed alone its working fine, but when the ruby app is installed, the Apace Tomcat App stops working. We need to have both the apps running on the same server. Please help. The application running on Tomcat is displaying the login screens and allowing the users the login. And then rest of the things are failing. The application running on Ruby is just fine as expected. Also, we installed Apace Tomcat and then Ruby on to this server. so there are a lot of chances that the Ruby took Tomcat's port. But how to figure out the overlap?
You probably have both trying to bind to port 80. Whatever server you're using for rails (passenger via nginx/apache http server, nginx+thin/mongrel, etc) is bound to port 80, then tomcat tries to do the same and can't.
If you're using nginx, I would configure tomcat to run on 8080 and reverse proxy http requests to tomcat based on the hostname of part of the url.
You can do this too with apache http server with mod_proxy.
