Thank you, Mr. John W Higgins. I am not familiar with Ruby's server/proxy stuff, so I simply follow the example (presented in the page you recommended below) before applying my actual case.

I am sure it's simple installation matter, so I would wait for while until the site back and find reported errors, but if you could suggest my em-proxy setting-up problem, I will appreciate very much.
