Error in "Getting Started with Rails" process, step 4.3

Rails
1

I’m evaluating Rails by, first, going thru the “Getting Started with
Rails”
process.

All is well until step 4.3, “Setting the Application Home Page”. I have
un-commented “root ‘welcome#index’” in “config/routes.rb”, restarted the
web server (just in case), and invoked http://localhost:3000 in my
browser.

I get this:

Here’s the app environment info:

This is on a Win 7 Pro SP1 machine. Two of them, in fact - I get the
same
results on both computers.

Oops, my embedded screen shots apparently aren’t showing up. I’ll
insert
links this time. Here’s my post, all over again.

Ken,

This could be a coffescript compatibility problem, according to some
stackoverflow posts. (

)

Try to edit your Gemfile at your app root folder, and change the
coffescript line to:

gem ‘coffee-script-source’, ‘1.8.0’

Also, if you’re going to develop on rails, I strongly recommend you to
use
a linux/unix/osx environment.
On windows, you can run a virtual machine using vagrant.

Leandro ~

It worked! For the benefit of other newbies (or oldbies) who hit this
problem, here’s the story:

I added the line you suggested to Gemfile. (Curiously, in the original
Gemfile, there was no ‘coffee-script-source’.)

I tried to restart the server, and got this:

C:\rblog>ruby bin\rails server
You have requested:
coffee-script-source = 1.8.0

The bundle currently has coffee-script-source locked at 1.9.1.1.
Try running bundle update coffee-script-source
Run bundle install to install missing gems.

I took the suggestion to run bundle update coffee-script-source.

The server restarted OK.

When I requested http://localhost:3000/, the “Hello, Rails!” screen
popped
right up!

~ Thanks for your help!
