Boy, this is a very weird feeling. Excitement mixed with frustration! Am really excited to learn Ruby and was following the examples of Ruby For Rails e-book (manning) and finally, after getting all the coding and settings bits done, I cant get it to work!
The example (chapter 2), after creating the Rails app, coding the show and welcome methods, setting the route, database, layouts, ...etc, the instruction was to start webrick using ./script/server [-b domain] [-p port] and then point the browser to http://localhost:3000
Did that and i only get the "Welcome Aboard Ruby on Rails" web page. Tried to use 127.0.0.1 and get prompted by windows for user id and password which does not seem to like my login credentials and tells me that i'm unauthorized to view the page!
Installed the complete bundle of rails which came with mysql, php, apache...hope someone out there can help me get through this stage!
Cheers

Jadzien,
Generally, these questions are better directed at the Rails mailing
list[1]. In this case, what it's looking like is that you're still
pulling up the public/index.html file for your application. There are
several ways to get around this (changing the .htaccess file, removing
the public/index.html file, etc.) but for now the simplest solution
would be to just access the correct controller directly rather than
relying on the default route. For example, if you have a
WelcomeController, try this url:
http://localhost:3000/welcome

Read more careful. For http://localhost:3000 url webrick will render
public/index.html page. You need to specify a controller an action name in
your url.

Thanks Jacob, especially for pointing me to the rails mailing list...very helpful for a newbie like me! Turns out my problems was that i did not run MySQL service before i tried to run my app. Well...looks like i'm on my way!
