How to get DRb and Webrick to work together?

[Sal Syed]

Hi,
I'm trying to run Webrick and DRb on the same program. I run them on
different ports. The problem is they both try to take over the entire
process


$user[:drbserver]=DistributedSearch.new($user,$database)
DRb.start_service("druby://localhost:#{$config[:drbport]}",$user[:drbserver])

puts "Starting server process"
# Start the server thread.
server.start

The following code stops and I never get to start the webserver.

Can someone help? I'm new to ruby not sure how to set these up to run in
their own threads properly.

service=DRb.start_service("druby://localhost:#{$config[:drbport]}",$user[:drbserver])

Thread.new do
while service != nil
server.start
end

Worth giving a shot....Also you might want to google 'Ruby
multithreading' for more info on the subject.
