• I'm using 2 virtual box that running on same centos version and exact copy, VM2 is only run mysql that will be remote from VM1
• I have tried mysql connection #nc and it's connected
• VM1 (192.168.7.201) & VM2 (192.168.7.202 running MYSQL)
• I have bind-address on remote machine (VM2) in my.cnf with bind-address=192.168.7.202
• here's my database.yml

development:
adapter: mysql
host: 192.168.7.202
port: 3306
username: teambox
password: pass
database: teambox

and I am trying to run with #rails server -e development -b 192.168.7.202 and giving this error

Exiting
/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/mongrel-1.1.5/lib/mongrel/tcphack.rb:12:in `initialize_without_backlog': Cannot assign requested address - bind(2) (Errno::EADDRNOTAVAIL)

please help me out

Answer 1

try this

rails server -e development -b 0.0.0.0 -p 3000

0.0.0.0 means it listens on all IPv4 addresses on the local machine
