cannot connect to mongrel running typo

[bradphelan]

I just installed Typo 4 on my Ubuntu box. I run
Starting Typo on port 4821

I then try
but no connection is made. Same problem in firefox. No connection.

The mongrel log is
** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:4821
** Starting Rails with production environment...
** Rails loaded.
** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins
** Signals ready. TERM => stop. USR2 => restart. INT => stop (no
restart).
** Rails signals registered. HUP => reload (without restart). It
might not work well.
** Mongrel available at 0.0.0.0:4821
** Writing PID file to
/usr/home/brad/projects/ruby/typo/foo/tmp/pid.txt


Strange IP address 0.0.0.0 ???? Is that correct?

typo has started mongrel as

10085 ? Rl 0:01 /usr/local/bin/ruby
/usr/local/bin/mongrel_rails start
/usr/home/brad/projects/ruby/typo/foo -d false -e production -P
/usr/home/brad/projects/ruby/typo/foo/tmp/pid.txt -p 4821

Does anybody have an idea what is up here?

Regards

Brad

just a 'generic' hints:

0.0.0.0 means 'any' or 'all' addresses, i.e. if your box has two
addresses, mongrel will listen on both

try netstat -an to see whether it really listens on the port

So it seems to be listening but neither firefox or wget can make a
connection ??

Right. The output seems fine. I don't have a clue what could be the
problem. Some more tips:

1. try running mongrel with specific address: -a 127.0.0.1
2. try using your outer address (-a 192.186.1.5)
3. are you using some kind of firewall that could block the traffic?
4. try using webrick instead of mongrel

It is very strange because here at work I have an ubuntu box running
pretty much the same setup except it has ethernet instead of WIFI and
desktop instead of laptop. I had no troubles.

at home my firewall is at the wireless router, no clever software
firewall stuff installed by me.

However you give me one idea. I have installed vmware player and
everytime I run apt-get the player tries to reconfigure it's network
connections. Perhapps the setup for vmware player has done some
ugly stuff to my settings. I am not running vmware player during
the typo tries but perhapps there are some daemons running anyways
causing havoc.

I will try the other suggestions too when I get home tonight.

Ta for the suggestions.

Tried webbrick and that still doesn't work. I am puzzled!

Howsabout running ethereal to see if traffic is getting to the IP
address (firstly).

Seems to be a bigger problem not just with mongrel. I tried in one
terminal

netcat -l -p 3000

and then in another

netcat localhost 3000

and started typing away. Again on my work machine the stuff goes through
and my home machine it doesn't. I guess I should start cross posting to
an Ubuntu / Linux newsgroup.

I'll have a look at etheral again when I get home.

Ta for the tip.
