Question

I have an app provided by a vendor an I cant seem to start them on my local mac… I get the following error. Anyone know what I can do to get this thing working.

Apu:app Apu$ script/server

=> Rails 2.2.2 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

It looks like the file /Users/Apu/Documents/GDB_Parent/scr/GDB/app/log/development.log cannot be created. Does the log directory exist and do you have permission to write to it?
