Instant Rails 1.4 and Mongrel

Ruby
1

I just upgraded to InstantRails 1.4, which, among other things, runs
Mongrel
in lieu of Webrick. I used to be able to go right to
..\rails_apps\myapp
and run

ruby script\server

and up would fire Webrick and I could then navigate my browswer to
http://localhost:3000/ and be off and running. Now, I cannot do that.

Can someone fill me in on the new way to do things here? Thansk, Ike

try mongrel_rails (possibly with some parameters)

disclaimer: this is how mongrel is usually started. I haven’t used any
recent InstantRails.

That should work as long as IR’s ruby\bin directory is on the path (by
opneing the console window through IR, or running “use_ruby.cmd”,
etc.).

Once you are in you app’s root directory you can start it with WEBrick
as you stated above, or you can start it with Mongrel with the command
“mongrel_rails”.
