If I don't run it as root, all I get is this: <pre><code>Not Found `/people' not found. WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.2/2004-12-25) at localhost:3000</code></pre> When I run it as root, I get the expected "people" index. Freaky. Perhaps some kind of permissions issue on the Rails installation? hm. If I don’t run it as root, all I get is this:

Not Found

`/people' not found.
WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/1.8.2/2004-12-25) at localhost:3000

When I run it as root, I get the expected “people” index. Freaky. Perhaps some kind of permissions issue on the Rails installation?

I suggest that you follow this fix : http://tech.rufy.com/entry/46. Your life will be much easier after that. There's not a lot of books on Ruby on Rails. I agree with you that is strange that O'Reilly don't have a book on it, when we know how much they that talk about it. The best book I know is http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/titles/rails/index.html. You should find almost all the answers in this book. It's very complete. Rails is still in development (not yet a 1.x version) and is difficult to get good documentation on it. The default installation of Ruby on Rails on the Mac OS X Tiger isn’t very good.
