Hi,

I can't run the first hello program (chapter 2).

I generated the hello index successfully, but when I went to localhost:3000/hello I get the following error:

We're sorry, but something went wrong.

We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.


I also tried all the previous steps (including a new install of ruby and rails) on another computer and got the same results.

Thanks for any help.

Could you let us know what environment you're running it on? The error you're getting sounds like you're in production mode rather than development mode, which doesn't seem quite right either.

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm not sure which environment I'm running it on (how could I find that out?). However, I'm running on Windows XP using the command line. I installed Ruby, Rails, and SQlite-3.

When I start the server it says
"=> booting WEBrick
=> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with - d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2009-05-11 08:59:43] Info WEBrick 1.3.1

Thanks!

Hmmm.... Are you getting any more detailed error messages at the command line, or just the "We're sorry, but something went wrong." message?

By environment, I just mean operating system and Rails version. Also, could you let me know which installation instructions you followed? And do you get the Rails start page at localhost:3000/ ?

Thanks,
Simon

I'm hoping you haven't replied because you figured it out. If not, may I suggest you try Heroku Garden? That's the easiest way I know of to skip all the installation and configuration headaches at first.

There's no real escaping installation questions in the long run, but in the short run, that's an easier path to get started.

Its nearly a year later and I have the very same problem in chapter 1 of the book.

Its definitely depressing for someone who's been developing in perl, c#, c++, c, java, etc for 30 years to not know how to run hello world.

There must be a simple answer...

Freshly re-installed using the defaults

ruby 1.8x
rails 2.3.5
sqlite3-ruby-1.2.5
cgi_multipart_eof_fix-2.5.0
mongrel-1.1.5-x86-mingw32
rack-1.1.0
rake-0.8.7
ffi-0.6.2

System is Windows XP SP2, commands are executed from cygwin pdksh


tried both Mongrel and WEBrick
my application controller and greeting controllers have completely empty index and show methods so as not to confuse the issue.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I get the "Sorry, we're looking into it" message
I get the same message when clicking on "Your application's Environment" link of the server home page.

Clearly it's using the development environment because only the development log is filling up. This is what results from a call:

I got review access to all of the material and can confirm that, yes, these screencasts are awesome… If you basically want to be able to look “over the shoulder” of an experienced Rails developer and see how a Rails development environment is set up and how multiple apps are built, there’s nothing that can beat this. This isn’t a set of “build a blog in 15 minutes” videos—it’s a complete course that could kick off a new career for you with Rails 3.0.
