error starting rails app with mongrel on wndows xp

Question

I am trying to launch a rails application with mongrel on windows xp.

I believe the following error is version-specific but cannot pinpoint exactly what is missing (a gem overlooked perhaps or an incompatible version?)

My ruby version
C:\ruby -v
ruby 1.9.2p136 (2010-12-25) [i386-mingw32]

In my working directory I attempt to start the app with this command:

mongrel_rails start -e development -b 127.0.0.1 -p 3000

The error is:
C:\myApp>mongrel_rails start -e development -a 127.0.0.1 -p 3000
** Starting Mongrel listening at 127.0.0.1:3000

Any ideas or direction on how to about resolving this will much appreciated.If I am missing a file or gem, or if it is a version conflict, it is not clear which one is it.

Also given the different versions on the same gem installed, how could I start the rails app on mongrel specifying exactly what versions I want to use?

Thanks!

Answer 1

would you please paste the contents of your gem file?

make sure you have:

gem 'mongrel', '>= 1.2.0.pre2'

then run bundle install to update your gem.

run server: rails server mongrel
