I have to agree with Marnen on this point. I don't run services on my machines that are unnecessary. I don't have Apache running all the time. It's not like I server web sites from my laptop. I don't run MySQL on my development box all the time. I don't develop multiple-sites concurrently, so I see no point in having them running all the time. I'm quite happy with ./script/server, which I aliased as 'ss' in my profile so I just type ss in my already running terminal window and my site it up and running with Mongrel. And, given that Mongrel is pre-installed by Apple, there's nothing to install, keeping my development machine just that much cleaner. P.S. +1 to whoever mentioned Homebrew. Finally an alternative to macports that I can be happy with. self => "macports hater" -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
