Lane,

Did you make sure and run "rails server" from the root of the application directory?

Thanks,

I ran  "rails s"  (which is what the demo video told me to do)

but I also just ran "rails server" and it did the same thing

 

by "root of the application directory"  ... you do mean the Administrator window?  it seemed to do something when I typed "rails s" .... so I think Im in the right spot...

 

I feel like it is something with my computer protection but I have turned off the Windows firewall...

I also have AVG on there... could that be the problem?

 

I appreciate your thoughts

Lane,

AVG could cause issues if it isn't allowing connections. Can you please paste the output of "rails server" (same thing as "rails s").

Thanks,

Description:
    The 'rails new' command creates a new Rails application with a default
    directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.

    You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time
    'rails new' runs in the .railsrc configuration file in your home directory.

    Note that the arguments specified in the .railsrc file don't affect the
    defaults values shown above in this help message.

Example:
    rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog

    This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
    See the README in the newly created application to get going.

ps... sorry... i have a baby who keeps pulling me away...

[Evan Machnic]

Lane,

That should be run from the root if the application eg: C:\Sites\railsinstaller_demo
