From: Ron Jeffries Date: 2007-11-14T13:10:01+09:00 Subject: rails incredibly slow (update) After 24 minutes of waiting, the Welcome Aboard window came up in my browser. The command window now contains 22:20:51.78 C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\demo>ruby script/server => Booting Mongrel (use 'script/server webrick' to force WEBrick) => Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Call with -d to detach => Ctrl-C to shutdown server ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:3000 ** Starting Rails with development environment... ******** Here is where it stuck. What follows came out and then it began to work. I don't know whether there were delays between any of the lines below. ** Rails loaded. ** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins ** Signals ready. INT => stop (no restart). ** Mongrel available at 0.0.0.0:3000 ** Use CTRL-C to stop. Now going to the demo page proceeds at a normal pace in a new tab. Going to rails/info/properties takes forever. Advice? Thanks! Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com
