R on R on Vista

Expand Post »

Hello everyone,

I am a newbie to Ruby. I installed Instant Rails on a Windows Vista machine and whenever I started the InstantRails, it gave an error message "Either Apache or MySQL cannot run because another program is using it's ports."

I have checked my firewall settings and couldn't figure out what is causing this error.

Can someone help me, please.

Thank you,

SR

Re: R on R on Vista

Try restarting your computer and stopping a running apache service.
There is a webserver running that is conflicting with instant rails.
To see what server it is, type localhost into your address bar and see what comes up.

Re: R on R on Vista

I'm on Vista and haven't ran into that error. I am not using instant rails I downloaded a different version of ROR and than integrated it into my xampps INI file.
