Can't access http://local:3000/projectName/

Hey, I'm new to RoR and have been having trouble viewing/testing my project. I'm working on Windows Vista.

After running the: "ruby script/server" command and navigating through Firefox to http://local:3000/projectName/ the cmd-prompt spits out a big error message.

Here's a snippet of the error (If you need the whole thing, tell me.):

Any help would be really appreciated! ~Redpanda

Hey, I'm new to RoR and have been having trouble viewing/testing my project. I'm working on Windows Vista.

By default rails uses sqlite3 for its database layer. You need both sqlite3 itself and the sqlite3-ruby gem (ruby bindings for sqlite). Last time I checked you had to ask gem for version 1.2.3 of the sqlite3-ruby gem (later versions don't have a prebuilt windows version)

Also, assuming you have run ruby script/server from the projectName directory then the url will be http://localhost:3000/ the projectname is not required. At least I do not need it.

Thanks for the help.I figured that out the day after I posted this and forgot to update my post. But this should be good for anyone else having the same issue.
