title: Rails Development and Cygwin on Windows XP
body: <p>Hello I installed cygwin on Windows XP so I can use Unix command in Console2. 
  I also installed Ruby on Rails without much of problem.
  Then I tried to run the 'ruby /script/server' command, and I got the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ruby /script/server
  c:\ruby\bin\ruby.exe: No such file or directory -- /script/server (LoadError)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In order to access any files or drives on Cygwin, I know I have to prepend the path with \cygdrive. So that must be causing the problem. However I don't know how to make Rails aware that \cygdrive\ has to be prepended in front.  </p>
  
  <p>Also, if there is a better way to do Rails development on Windows environment, please let me know. I've been riding Rails on OSX, and it's the first time on Windows. So I'm used to the unix commands and I'd like to keep using them on Windows as well.</p>
