Can't access Rails server from local network
This is my first post here. I have a rails server that I run on a dedicated server that I have jail shell access to. I can start the rails server and access it simply with elinks text browsers running in this jail shell using both internal and public IPs. However, I cannot access the rails server from outside this chrooted environment. Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You might want to check the following:
- Check if your LAN is protected by a firewall, most routers have a firewall inside and they will block many ports.
- Assuming you are running script / server check your firewall if port 3000 is allowed.
- I don't think you are using apache / nginx with a passenger / mongrel, do you? if yes, check your firewall if port 80 is allowed.
- Since you said that the dedicated server has a public IP, I'm assuming that port forwarding to the firewall is configured correctly.
- You need to access your rails server with http: // your_server_public_ip: 3000 .
We hope these checks help you fix the problem.
