Trying to teach myself Ruby (again)

Thu, 07 Oct 2010 17:09:28 +0000

Now that I have a real web project to work on I figured it’s a good time to try and teach myself Ruby again. Sinatra seems to be the new hotness so that’s what I’m trying, but so far things aren’t going quite as I expected. Everything appears to be installed, but when I run the “Hello, World!” script, the webserver doesn’t start as it’s apparently supposed to do:

[evan@ehoffman 16:59:34 ~]$ ruby --version
ruby 1.9.2p0 (2010-08-18 revision 29036) [x86_64-linux]
[evan@ehoffman 16:59:39 ~]$ irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'sinatra'
=> true
irb(main):002:0>
You have new mail in /var/spool/mail/evan
[evan@ehoffman 17:00:20 ~]$ cat hi.rb
#require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'

get ‘/’ do “Hello World” end [evan@ehoffman 17:00:24 ~]$ ruby hi.rb [evan@ehoffman 17:00:33 ~]$

Sinatra Won't Start on Evan Hoffman
