Rails 3 Server crashes on start: "Not a socket file descriptor"

I'm trying to get started with Ruby on Rails, and it's all gone quite well up until I try to start the server. I get the following error:

I don't even know where to start with "TCPServer Error: Not a socket file descriptor."

Trying it through Aptana didn't help either.

I'm on Windows 7 Home Premium. Apache was already installed, but I shut it down and it didn't make a difference.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Are you sure nothing else is listening on port 3000 (perhaps an old instance of the server that didn't get shut down)? Check the following:

netstat -a -b

If there is, simply kill that application, or start WEBrick on another port; for example, to start it on port 8000:

rails server --port=8000
