How to use unicorn server on Rails 3

Rails
1

I am using Rails 3.0.3, Ruby 1.9.2 with rvm on Ubunutu 10.04. I
generated a new app by rails new testunicorn. By default the Webrick
server runs ok. In order to try Unicorn I uncommented gem ‘unicorn’
in Gemfile and did bundle install. rails server still runs webrick
and doing rails server unicorn leads to

colinl@piglet:~/websites/testunicorn$ rails s unicorn
Exiting
/home/colinl/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.2-p0/gems/rack-1.2.1/lib/rack/handler.rb:21:in

<top (required)>' from script/rails:6:in require’
from script/rails:6:in `’

Do I need to do something else to use unicorn? Google has not
suggested anything. There was one hit with the same problem in (I
think) Indonesian and google did not seem able to translate it.

Help would be much appreciated.

Works for me just starting it as unicorn_rails like in 2.3.x …

The docs suggest unicorn_rails is not required for Rails 3.

unicorn_rails n’est en effet pas recommandé pour les apps rails 3

http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicorn_rails_1.html

It is designed to help Rails 1.x and 2.y users transition to
Rack, but
it is NOT needed for Rails 3 applications. Rails 3 users are encouraged
to use unicorn(1) instead of unicorn_rails(1). Users of Rails 1.x/2.y
may also use unicorn(1) instead of unicorn_rails(1).

Instead, you can start your rails3 server with unicorn
http://unicorn.bogomips.org/unicorn_1.html

In the mean time, it’d be great if one could start unicorn with rails s unicorn, but as Colin said, it does not work.

This is because Rack misses a “Handler” for Unicorn.
It already has one for Webrick, Thin, Mongrel and others, but not for
Unicorn

I could not find the handler with google and will try the Unicorn ML to
ask
