Question
Can't access rails app running on port 3000
I want to start up my rails application I cloned from github.
I tried running ‘rails s’ and everything seems to be working ok as you can see below…
:/home/rails# rails s
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.1 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2015-06-15 04:18:49] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
[2015-06-15 04:18:49] INFO ruby 2.2.1 (2015-02-26) [x86_64-linux]
[2015-06-15 04:18:49] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=26394 port=3000
However, when I go to the http://"MY_IP_ADDRESS":3000/ in my browser, It can’t be accessed.
I can only go to the root address which is http://"MY_IP_ADDRESS"/ but it would show me the default rails html page not my application.
I even tried replacing my cloned github app to /home/rails still no hope. still the default page.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
you do specify the bind param like this: rails s -b 0.0.0.0
or if you prefer change the server to thin add gem ‘thin’* into your gem file, then do bundle install and start the server with *thin start **
This worked for me on the following environment:
– RVM Version: ruby-2.0.0-p648
– Redmine Application: 3.1.1.stable
