at the command line and get a whole lot of gobble-dee-gook. I do NOT
get the results my instructor on the web video gets. I do not get any
result when I look for localhost:3000 on my web browser. I'm using a
Mac OS 10.5.8, and I downloaded the latest version of Rails, which
seemed to go smoothly.
Please don't overwhelm me with technical speak. I'm brand new to
rails, brand new to command line coding, brand new to web
development.
Also, what were exact steps you took to download and install latest
version of rails?
As someone mentioned above, you need to be in the root directory of
your app. What does that mean?
When you first started developing your app, you probably did a command
like:
rails new my_app_name, where "my_app_name" is whatever you want your
new app to be called.
That created a new directory or folder, using that same name. You
need to get inside that directory before
typing
1. "rails new my_new_app"
This generates your brand new rails application, and puts it all in a
new folder called "my_new_app".
2. "cd my_new_app"
Go into your "my_new_app" folder.
3. "rails server"
Launch the rails server - notice you are running this command while
INSIDE the rails project folder.
Test this out and see if it works for you. We also need to see the
actual error messages you are getting in the terminal. From now on,
make it a habit to post any and all console ouput for us to see, it'll
let us help you out much more easily.
I did try rails server from the root directory of my app, entitled
"simple_cms." Here's my command and the results.
