Re: Radrails: workspace in use, choose a different one

I'm still having problems with this. I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution that fits. I've just installed the latest version of Radrails and deleted the old workspace directory. I'm able to set various directories in my home directory as the workspace without error but I can't set the /var/rails directory or any of it's subdirectories as the workspace. I get the "workspace in use" error. I've tried creating a sym link from my home directory to /var/rails but that doesn't work either. I've searched for a .metadata directory in every directory I've tried to unsuccessfully set as the workspace and have yet to find one. It doesn't appear to have anything to do with a .lock file. When I set the workspace to a directory in my home directory it successfully creates the .metadata directory and the .lock file. I keep all of my rails apps in /var/rails/ and use virtual servers in apache so I would like to be able to edit the files directly from the /var/rails directory.

Does anyone have any ideas? I'm running Ubuntu 5.10
