Hi,
After typing “rails server”, I tried to go to http://localhost:3000, as
well as http://0.0.0.0:3000, but I got an error message. In the first
case, I get: Connection refused. For the second one, there was an error
about no DNS entry?
Help!

Please paste in what you see in Terminal after you typed this. You
might also see some sort of traffic log from the first try (the one
that was refused). Also, what does your /etc/hosts file look like? Do
you have the Firewall up? (not sure that matters on localhost, but
worth a try)

Walter,
This is what I get when I type in “rails server”
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.0.4 application starting in development on
http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2011-03-03 12:20:42] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1

[2011-03-03 12:20:42] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid = 1604 port
=3000
How do i check to see what my etc/hosts file look like? It’s in a demo
app, in views, with a basic index.html. How do I check re: firewall?
Thanks!
I have windows. When I type in “edit /etc/hosts”, I get
MS-DOS Editor

Is there something in particular I should look for here? I get
/B - Forces monochrome mode
/H - Displays the maximum number of lines possible for your hardware

If you’re using a Mac, and TextMate, type mate /etc/hosts in your
Terminal. If you don’t have TextMate, you can use your favorite
command-line editor through the generic (alias) command edit, as in
edit /etc/hosts. Or nano /etc/hosts for that very easy-to-use editor.
Again, on the Mac, the firewall is configured in the System
Preferences app, in the Security section.
On other platforms, I can’t say for sure about either of these. On
anything Unix-like, edit /etc/hosts should get you something.

So…how can I get http://localhost:3000 to display? Or connect to the
host, given that it seems like when I type “rails server” i get the
standard booting webrick messages…?

Doesn’t the last part of that line indicate Windows?

Sorry, that is, the error is still “Connection refused.”

On Windows XP your hosts file is located at
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. Run the following and let us know
what is in it.
edit C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Did you check the windows firewall (or any other firewall you may have
installed)? Worth tryin 127.0.0.1:3000 as well, I’ve occasionally had
localhost resolve to an ipv6 address somehow

This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
space.
Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
lines or following the machine name denoted by a ‘#’ symbol.
For example:
102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
That’s what I get.
thanks!
Turn if off completely? Done. Still not working

This is good. Next thing is to turn off your Windows Firewall. It’s
under
Control Panel->Windows Firewall.

Look in your system tray for it. You can also check your Add & remove
Programs list.
