macOS install on an Intel Mac: nothing answers on port 3000

Help: Server

I installed ZoneRails Server on an older Intel Mac mini. The installer finished fine but nothing answers on port 3000. Is Intel supported, and where would I look for logs on macOS?

Intel Macs are supported (use the -x64.pkg). The 1.6.0 Intel installer completed but the server crashed as soon as it started, which matches what you see. That was fixed in 1.6.1. Install the current release over it; your data is kept.

Locations on macOS:

  • Program: /opt/zonerails-server
  • launchd job: /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.aholdings.zonerails-server.plist
  • Data: /Library/Application Support/ZoneRails
  • Logs: /Library/Logs/ZoneRails

The daemon starts at install and on boot. If it still doesn’t answer, post the latest lines from the log directory along with the version you installed.
