    2828== Getting started 
    2929 
    30 1. Run the WEBrick servlet: <tt>ruby script/server</tt> (run with --help for options) 
    31    ...or if you have lighttpd installed: <tt>ruby script/lighttpd</tt> (it's faster) 
    32 2. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and get "Congratulations, you've put Ruby on Rails!" 
    33 3. Follow the guidelines on the "Congratulations, you've put Ruby on Rails!" screen 
     301. Start the web server: <tt>ruby script/server</tt> (run with --help for options) 
     312. Go to http://localhost:3000/ and get "Welcome aboard: You’re riding the Rails!" 
     323. Follow the guidelines to start developing your application

     35== Web servers 
     36 
     37Rails uses the built-in web server in Ruby called WEBrick by default, so you don't 
     38have to install or configure anything to play around.  
     39 
     40If you have lighttpd installed, though, it'll be used instead when running script/server. 
     41It's considerably faster than WEBrick and suited for production use, but requires additional 
     42installation and currently only works well on OS X/Unix (Windows users are encouraged 
     43to start with WEBrick). We recommend version 1.4.11 and higher. You can download it from 
     44http://www.lighttpd.net. 
     45 
     46If you want something that's halfway between WEBrick and lighttpd, we heartily recommend 
     47Mongrel. It's a Ruby-based web server with a C-component (so it requires compilation) that 
     48also works very well with Windows. See more at http://mongrel.rubyforge.org/. 
     49 
     50But of course its also possible to run Rails with the premiere open source web server Apache. 
     51To get decent performance, though, you'll need to install FastCGI. See 
     52http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/FastCGI for more information on FastCGI.

    103121application is running. You can inspect domain models, change values, and save to the 
    104122database. Starting the script without arguments will launch it in the development environment. 
    105 Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>console production</tt>. 
     123Passing an argument will specify a different environment, like <tt>script/console production</tt>.
