I'm taking a fresh look at ror and hobo after a couple of years. The
"Hobo in Two Minutes" tutorial on the hobo website is not working for
me and I'd like some help with that. Maybe someone involved with the
hobo project will take a look at the tutorial, if it needs revision.

First it seems to be true that rails no longer uses mysql as the
default db? That's an interesting change...postgres would be my
preferred db in any case, if I decide to pursue ror and or hobo.

I'm on windows xp. I used the windows installer to get ruby 1.8.7 on
the box. Then gem install rails. Then gem install hobo.

The "Hobo in Two Minutes" tutorial seems to fall apart because sqlite
is not installed automatically. Maybe that's already understood by
everyone. I think I got sqlite 3 installed after some struggling - the
dll and def go into ruby\bin, and then gem install sqlite3-ruby. That
generates a heap of error messages like "No definition for
_wrap_new_CallbackData" but apparently that's mostly about the build
in documentation?

So then I go back and delete the thingybob folder and start the
tutuorial again. As far as I can tell there are not errors. But when I
issue

ruby script/server

and then browse to http://localhost:3000, it just sits there with
'waiting for http://localhost:3000' in the status bar, forever.

Any clues?
