When I try to run InstantRails 2.0 under Vista, which I've extracted to C:\InstantRails, I get the following error:
Either Apache or MySQL cannot run because another program is using its port.
What do I do here? MySQL server is installed fine.
InstantRails will tell you in its console exactly which one can't run with its traffic lights. It's most likely a clash between Apache and Vista's built in web server (IIS) on port 80. I'd go open up the Services list and turn IIS (may be called 'HTTP Web server' or something similar) off.
And, to be honest, as useful as InstantRails was, it's not actively maintained. Bitnami's RubyStack is a fair substitute although it's larger, takes longer to install, and doesn't have the nice pointy-clicky interface for starting mongrel instances that InstantRails (RIP) did.

I am new to Ruby on Rails, but I managed to install it using the RailsInstaller and I am using Aptana Studio 3 as a text editor. I am on a Windows 7 x64.
Last week I managed to create a simple Hello world project, and it worked as it should when starting and stopping the rails server. To start the server I used the command rails server and to stop it I used CTRL+C.
Somehow, this week, when I'm trying to start the server it says "A server is already running". But, when I go to the correct page in a web browser it doesn't work. I get the error "Google Chrome could not connect to localhost:3010". So, this makes it seem like the server is not working, even though it supposedly is running.
So, I then try to stop the server from running, but CTRL+C doesn't seem to do anything. It doesn't give any kind of message at all when I input that, it just skips to a new line in the terminal window.
the standard port is 3000.
You can kill the server in the task manager and start it from new..
There is probably a rails process still running but bugged out/crashed. Try looking at the processes in the windows task manager to for a rails process, and cancel it. Additionally you can start a rails process on a different port with rails server -p PORT
I installed Ubuntu, GlassFish web server, installed JRuby on Rails using GlassFish's admin tools, deployed my application from .war archive. The problem is only - when I attempt to run this web application nothing happens. GlassFish isn't listening on port 8080 as promised. The GlassFish administration web console listens on port 4848 and works fine. What to do to pair GlassFish and JRuby on Rails the correct way, remembering that it isn't a separate JRuby installation?
Update: it seems that this problem lies somewhere around access rights because I can deploy an application through
sudo ./asadmin deploy
but can not do the same through web console. The output is as if the application has been deployed, without any error messages (web interface shows the presence of application, domain folder contains my application's file/folder structure), but something in server's internals isn't bound to application.
I didn't think much and applied quick and dirty solution: set "777" access rights to /home/glassfish and all its contents. It helped.
My Rails development IDE is Aptana Studio 3.0.5, running on Windows.
The applications runs on Apache + ModRails (Phusion Passenger) on a separate CentOS Linux machine. I have both Rails 2.x and 3.x applications.
I would like to be able to use the debugger in Aptana Studio (connect to the running application remotely). There are apparently some provisions for this, but I was unable to figure out what I need on the server side (in my Rails application configuration)
I've tried this:
Using Rack::Debug: It creates only unix socket, cannot be connected remotely.
Using ruby-debug directly:
I added this to my /config/environments/development.rb:
if File.exists?(File.join(RAILS_ROOT,'tmp', 'debug.txt'))
require 'ruby-debug'
Debugger.wait_connection = true
Debugger.start_remote("real.hostname", 5000, 5001)
File.delete(File.join(RAILS_ROOT,'tmp', 'debug.txt'))
end
Sprinking my code with debugger statements stop the execution, but I cannot connect to this instance from Aptana, not to port 5000 and not port 5001 (and I don't understand why I need two ports there).
Also, this method would be rather slow and too convoluted even if it worked, I'd like to have a more "integrated" debugging. Is it possible at all?
The old steps for Netbeans are relatively close since Aptana/RadRails and Netbeans share the same debugger core: http://blogs.oracle.com/martink/entry/remote_debugging_debug_whatever_ruby
Basically, run the ruby app using rdebug-ide -p 7000 (or whatever port you want), then inside the IDE, go to Run > Debug configurations. On the left hand side, select "Remote Ruby Debug Session" and then add a new configuration there (the plus icon above the list). Enter the proper host IP/name and port you entered on the command line.
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.

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/
As Rails applications default run on port 3000, would it be possible to start the application on port 80? Is it really required to have a fastcgi/mod_proxy enabled web server in front? My users won't be more than three at a time. If so, how would I be able to do so?
Thanks!
WARNING: This is not a general purpose description of how to set up a Ruby on Rails production environment. If you want to host a public Rails website, I highly recommend using Apache with Passenger, which is very easy to install and maintain.
From your description, it sounds like you are working with some kind of internal application to be used within your office or similar. For this particular purpose, hosting the application via Webrick (the built-in web server in Rails) might be a sufficient solution. To do this, start the server with a -p command line argument: ruby script/server -p 80
This obviously requires port 80 to be available (not bound by some other web server). Also, on most operating systems, you will need root privileges to bind to port 80. The security implications of running a web site as root are serious, so you really only want to do this if you know what you are doing, and are absolutely sure that the server is completely shielded from the Internet.
If there isn't some specific reason you're trying to run with mongrel, I would recommend using Phusion Passenger as it is significantly easier to configure and support than mod_proxy+mongrel.
