To run Rails application on Windows I do:

  • cd < app_dir >
  • rails server

I see the following:

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.0.1 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2011-01-12 20:32:07] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2011-01-12 20:32:07] INFO  ruby 1.9.2 (2010-08-18) [i386-mingw32]
[2011-01-12 20:32:07] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=5812 port=3000

Question 1

Why port 3000 is selected ? Where is it configured ?

Question 2

How could I run 2 applications in parallel ? I guess I need to configure one of them to be on other port (like 3001). How should I do this ?
