[Instantrails-users] boot problem

[William (Bill) Froelich]

Assuming you are using the most recent version of Instant Rails what I
did is configure Mongrel to run as a service and automatically start and
run my rails app every time I reboot my machine.  That way I don't have
to login for the rails app to already start and I can then access it
from not only my local machine but also the other machines on my
network.  
 
I am running on WinXP Pro but this should also work fine for Win2k.  See
http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/docs/win32.html for help on how to do this.

 
Note the example is setup to run your app in production mode on port
4000.  You may want to remove the -e production parameter if you are
working in development mode.
 
Hope this helps!

	Hi,
	
	working on Win2000, i have to launch IR at startup. Or to be
more acurate, i need to do what must be done for a user just having to
launch a browser and connect (locally) to my railsapp.
	
	1) I simply dropped a shortcut in the startup folder and hoped
... 'til the next restart. 
	
	It miserably failed : "unexpected end of Apache". No other
message.
	When a bit later i manually start Apache, all is going
perfectly.
	I suspected a problem with the port and changed it but it didn't
improve anything, it was worst ! 
	
	Any idea ?
	
	2) I read the FAQ (oh good boy i am ! ;-) )
	and discovered the question : "How can I auto-start my Rails app
when I reboot ?".
	Of course I jumped on it ... and no way ! No reaction at all.
Just an "unable to connect" error in the browser. 
	Sure I'm missing something but what ? Do I have to configure
something else in order to use that solution ?
	
	
	Help help help Mayday !
	
	Didier
