It looks like you created a view folder but do not have a controller action or route to match. You’ll want to setup a route on config/routes.rb to match a controller action. The tutorial should walk you through this but you can also see the routing guide in the rails guides on [rubyonrails.org](http://rubyonrails.org).

When you run rails s it starts the server for the app in that folder, so the welcome aboard page is coming from that app.

Which version of rail (rails -v) and ruby (ruby -v) are you using and which versions does the tutorial expect?

Also copy/paste the offending file (app/views/layouts/application.html.erb) here.

In the stackoverflow question it says the error is in welcome.js.coffee which you did not tell us here (assuming your error was the same). The suggestion there is that it is a windows issue, in which case definitely the best thing is to switch to a linux distribution such as Ubuntu. Very few developers use Windows for Rails and you will find it difficult to get help.

You might like to try the railstutorial.org tutorial (which is free to use online) as it will run in the cloud and does not need you to install anything. Then when you have done that you will have a better idea of the issues.
