You need to have some server listening on your local machine at whatever port you are creating the tunnel for.
If you just wanted to test it out you could start something like "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" and then "show 8000", which will serve files from your local machine at your showoff url (I might recommend running the server in an empty directory).
- crikli 16y agoRight you are; I did that and was able to see a bunch of stuff I'd not want to share over the web. :) Sheesh. Ruby runs over 3000, if you're not running the ruby server on 3000 there's not going to be anything listening. Facepalm.
- jimm 16y agoA pedantic correction: Rails runs its server on port 3000 by default; Ruby is the language Rails was written in.
