*Lesson Learnt Today / Tonight*
Swallow your pride and google for answers: You'll find things like this helping you out of the bug hole you've been in for hours.

It makes sense. Other newbies who don't understand the architecture of web app servers will have most likely run into the same problem as you, and if they haven't then you have a duty to ask a question and have it answered!

But most of the time you can find a solution by just googling your error messages.

AMAZING how one's mood swings with getting something working after it *not* working all afternoon and evening, due to something so friggin' basic (and nothing to do with your actual code) as not being able to run another app from the same server as another already running app.

Don't anyone dare tell me that makes sense! I thought 'Ruby on Rails' would run on the host and the apps would all by run by it from the same host. Apparently not.

Anyway, I've learnt my lesson, and know for next time.

(All this is pretty much what consumes my world these days boys and girls)

I think I might have a beverage this evening.
