I have recently installed Ruby 1.9.2 on Linux Ubuntu 10.04 running 0.7.65 when I run gem server the server starts but is not viewable on the 8808 port of the domain. I have tried this with both the IP and the domain itself.

Am I missing a configuration for this? In the past it has always just worked.

    I just tried running gem server on my Ubuntu 11.04 server:

    [mike@mike ~]$ gem server
Server started at http://0.0.0.0:8808

    My server’s IP address is 192.168.0.42:

    [mike@mike ~]$ ifconfig -a
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1d:09:27:ff:ff  
          inet addr:192.168.0.42  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

    So I was thus able to hit my Ruby Gems server via http://192.168.0.42:8808/

    Are you sure you’re hitting your server at the correct IP address? Is the server configured to listen on the interface you’re trying to hit it through? Is port 8808 being blocked by either a firewall or iptables (or something else, for that matter)?
