I have Ruby 2.1.2 installed and Rails 4.2.
Bundle install runs without error.
I can do a Rails C without error.
Rails s -p3004 launches with webrick or thin without error
When I browse to mytestsite:3004 safari, firefox, and chrome all report "can't connect to server"
No errors show in any system logs; syslog, lfd.log, auth.log, or any of the apache logs.
If I launch my 4.04 site, ports 3001, 3002 work fine. If I bring down 4.04, and launch 4.2 on port 3001 or 3002, I get the 'can not connect to server' error. This seems to mean to me that it's not a firewall issue blocking the port. Nonetheless, iptables -L reports that port 3004 is open:
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere ctstate NEW tcp dpt:3004
Rails reports:
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.0.beta1 application starting in development on http://localhost:3004
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2014-09-02 21:31:06] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1

(same result with thin).
Telnet localhost 3004 works from the server however telnet from another server to the port and ip address results in a connection refused.
and ps reports the program is loaded:
ps aux|grep 3004

which is also confirmed by netstat:
netstat -tpln | grep 3004
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3004 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1062/ruby
but mmap reports the port is closed:
Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2014-09-02 21:33 UTC
Nmap scan report for localhost (127.0.0.1)
Host is up (0.000059s latency).
rDNS record for 127.0.x.1: local_host.local_domain

3004/udp closed unknown
And a telnet to the server 3004 reports connection refused.
Like I said, I'd think it was a firewall issue except that changing to port 3001, which I know to work with Rails 4.04, fails with 4.2. Anyone have any suggestions?
