I can't get the helloworld.hs program to work on the browser.
Please see my previously entered errata for procedure used.
I used the url http://127.0.0.1:3000 but it gives the same error on the browser.
Note: the "hell yes" is displayed on the terminal.
I've gone to the Haskell user group and the Yesod group for advise.
Good day.
Ps
Note: this program was downloaded and is slightly different than the one in the book - curioser and curioser.
Note from the Author or Editor:
Like was requested on the mailing list, I think I'll need to see the code you're running, because I certainly didn't write "hell yes" in the book. |

3rd paragraph |
I downloaded the source code and did the following:
1. download was done on a Mac.
2. I saved the file to helloWorld.hs
3. I went to my terminal screen and executed:
runhaskell helloworld.hs
4. on the terminal the following appeared:
hell yeah
5. so far, so good
6. I went to my browser and entered the url:
http://localhost:3000
7. I was expecting to see the following on my browser:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head><title></head><body>hell yeah</body></html>
8. Unfortunately, I get the following message:
"Safari can't connect to Server
Safari can't open page "http://localhost:3000" because
Safari can't connect to server "localhost"
I've also noted that there seems to be no activity on this book.
Am I making a mistake by trying to use it?
Note from the Author or Editor:
This is probably better discussed on the mailing list or an issue tracker than book errata. One possibility is that there's a hostname binding issue at play; try connecting to http://127.0.0.1:3000 instead.
Did "hell yeah" literally appear on the terminal? If so, where did that come from?
I'm not sure where you're looking for activity around the book, but most discussions happen on the Yesod mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/yesodweb |

On page 5, 2nd paragraph there is a typo, it is:
there is a greater than sign [>] before the word various...see following:
"...throughout the >various APIs."

The example of using forms in Yesod (under Synopsis) contains code that does not compile. The definition of function getRootR in the pdf and ebook versions differ from that on the author's website. This line:
((_,widget), enctype) <- generateFormPost personForm
should apparently be (as in the website version):
(widget, enctype) <- generateFormPost personForm

In the GetRootR function, the "<p" are not complete. They need ">" to be correct, the function should read as such:
getRootR = defaultLayout [whamlet|
<p>
<a href=@{RootR}>RootR
<p>
<a href=@{FooR}>FooR
|]

There is an unintended greater-than sign in front of "various APIs".
