script/server: Permission denied (Ruby on Rails Error)

shalinjain — Wed, 27 May 2009 06:08:18 +0000

I recently pulled a repository (using the GIT clone command) from our codebasehq account and landed up with this error while starting the server using the command script/server.

script/server: Permission denied

After a quick search I figured a fix and the possible cause of the problem.

Fix:

On your bash (terminal) run: chmod 755 script/server

Possible Cause:

The source pushed to the git server was from a Windows machine.

Tata Nano Booking

Tata Nano bookings open on 23 March 2009 in India.

Tata Nano

Nano booking can be done at Tata motor dealers and SBI bank counters. The upfront amount to be paid would be 70,000. However, looking at the production capacity of Tata Nano and estimates of 10,00,000 bookings likely in first 2 weeks, it will be a long wait for many.

Tata Nano for the first time will effectively challenge Maruti 800. Maruti 800 has been leading the segment for many years and haven’t changed much in the car for many years. It would be very interesting on how Maruti handles this new most-talked-about-peoples-car.

I would be looking forward to test drive this car sometime. If you buy one, please give me a ride!

TIP: CSS Formatting using TextMate

If you are writing CSS files using TextMate on Mac OS X here is a formatting tip that will benefit you.

Press CMD + ALT + 0 to hide property values leaving just 1 line displaying the document selector. This is great especially if you need to quickly run through a long CSS file.
