Hello,
I'm installing Four Days on Rails. On the first checkpoint, I attempt
to connect to the server:

http://todo/

In Mozilla, the message is that connection is refused. In IE: Cannot
find server or DNS Error. I have done the following steps. What did i
miss?

Thanks
basi

Steps:
1. Create the directory stucture
c:\> subst w: c:\www\webroot
c:\> w:
w:\> rails ToDo
2. Define application in the hosts file
127.0.0.1 todo
127.0.0.1 localhost
207.68.172.246 msn.com
3. Define the application in Apache. Restarted apache.
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName todo
DocumentRoot /www/webroot/ToDo/public
<Directory /www/webroot/ToDo/public/>
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
4. Switch to fastcgi
# Change extension from .cgi to .fcgi to switch to FCGI and to .rb to
swith to mod_ruby
RewriteBase /dispatch.fcgi

Seems the host configuration does not work. Will http://localhost or
http:/... do it?

Unfortunately, neither one works either. Thanks for the suggestion. I'm
still stuck.

Basi,

It sounds like apache's not running (or is listening on the wrong interface
or port).

Try telnetting to localhost on port 80 to see if anything's listening.

Mando,
I used Port Detective, and it reported that Port 80 is open.
Thanks,

On windows you need to specify c:/www/webroot/ToDo/public ... Windows
doesn't comprehend "/www/...."

Zach,
Added the drive letter c:, thus:

DocumentRoot c:/www/webroot/ToDo/public
<Directory c:/www/webroot/ToDo/public/>

Then restarted Apache and attempted to connect:

http://localhost:80/

but, still, connection was refused.

Thanks,
basi

Have you read it? Why should I read it if you cannot be bothered
to?

=============================================================================

I read it,
pretty interesting. it's a straightforward article and it makes no racist or
racial claims.

In which case, it is probably not quite what Beigewolf has in mind.
