Ruby on Rails

Hello everyone,

 I am a total beginner to ruby and rails, but am really excited about learning the environment.  I have to say, however, starting up with RoR is certainly most difficult!  

 

I am following along the Ruby on Rails tutorial found at railstutorial.org and I have gotten stuck at step 1.2.5.  I am running on a windows 8 environment using cmd.exe and sublime text 2 for text editing.  I have updated my gemfile in my first_app project to exactly as it says to do in the railstutorial and have ran 'bundle update' & 'bundle install' and that seems to be correct, to me.  

My gemfile looks like:

  

source 'https://rubygems.org'

ruby '1.9.3'

#ruby-gemset=railstutorial_rails_4_0

gem 'rails', '4.0.5'

group :development do

  gem 'sqlite3', '1.3.8'

end

gem 'sass-rails', '4.0.1'

gem 'uglifier', '2.1.1'

gem 'coffee-rails', '4.0.1'

gem 'jquery-rails', '3.0.4'

gem 'turbolinks', '1.1.1'

gem 'jbuilder', '1.0.2'

group :doc do

  gem 'sdoc', '0.3.20', require: false

end

Which is exactly as it appears in the gemfile editing step of 1.5 in the railstutorial...

With my gemfile in order and bundled, I type the command 'rails server' and my console spits out a bunch of extra code which is not listed in the tutorial.  

  Tutorial says my output should look like:

  $ rails server
=> Booting WEBrick
  => Rails application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
  => Call with -d to detach
  => Ctrl-C to shutdown server
  

  But my console outputs much more than that...

C:\Sites\rails_projects\first_app>rails server

=> Booting WEBrick

=> Rails 4.0.5 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000

=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options

=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

So after this I attempt to point my browser to the localhost server which I have supposedly created @ http://0.0.0.0:3000  

At this point, I get the "webpage is not available" / "oops! Google chrome cannot connect to localhost:3000" error page...

Is there some readily aparant thing I am doing wrong here?  I installed ruby using the Rails Installer for windows utility, if that makes any difference.  I have Java installed, which the author of railstutorial mentions may be an issue in respect to javascript... 

Can anyone help me?  

Best regards,

Will
