Also I could not open the Web Server in http://localhost:3000

Unable to connect

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at localhost:3000.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a
few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make
sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Please help in correcting the problem.

I think you may find it difficult to get help when running Rails on
Windows. I strongly suggest using a Linux distribution such as
Ubuntu, or a Mac as do most developers. You can run Ubuntu in a
virtual machine on top of windows (using VirtualBox or VMWare) or you
can dual boot your machine to run whichever is appropriate. Once you
start using Linux you will wonder why you stuck with Windows. It is
great to feel in control of the PC again.

Unfortunately I need to start Web Server in Windows 7. Please let me
know
if you have any solution for Windows 7.

No, I have no solution for that, whether you will find a solution I do
not know. Very few Rails servers run on Windows. I suggest that you
tell whoever is instructing you that you must do this to think again.

Exactly as the error says, try the following:
Please update your PATH to include build tools or download the DevKit
from ‘Downloads’ and follow the instructions
at ‘Development Kit · oneclick/rubyinstaller Wiki · GitHub

Well if rails and gem are working I wonder:
Have you installed the dev kit?

Looks like the Json gem is failing because the dev kit isnt installed
and it needs the build tools inside it

If you have installed the dev kit make sure you follow its instructions.
It probably the path issue your error mentions.

Ive used this setup before though so I know its doable

Hi Rohan,

To add to Clayton’s message re DevKit. You may use the following
instructions.

  1.  Download DevKit file from http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads
    

(DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20110712-1620-sfx.exe)

  1.   Extract DevKit to path C:\Ruby200\DevKit
    
  2.   Go to DevKit installation directory, cd C:\Ruby200\DevKit
    
  3.  Run the command ruby dk.rb review
    
  4.  It is useful to review the list of Rubies to be enhanced to use 
    

the
DevKit and verify the changes you made to it are correct.

Run ruby dk.rb install

  1. Run gem update --system and run bundle install to your project
    

folder.
Hope everything will go well while fixing these things. :smiley:

Thanks,

Vic

=== 2.4.1 / 2014-07-17

Bug fixes:

  • RubyGems can now be updated on Ruby implementations that do not
    support
    vendordir in RbConfig::CONFIG. Issue #974 by net1957.

=== 2.4.0 / 2014-07-16

Minor enhancements:

  • The contents command now supports a --show-install-dir option that

Bug fixes:

    Previously this behavior was undefined which could lead to bugs when a
    prerelease version was unintentionally activated. Bug #938 by Joe

    gems
    from git to override an installed gem with the same name and version.

RubyGems installed the following executables:
C:/Ruby200/bin/gem

Ruby Interactive (ri) documentation was installed. ri is kind of like
man
pages for ruby libraries. You may access it like this:
ri Classname
ri Classname.class_method
ri Classname#instance_method
If you do not wish to install this documentation in the future, use the
–no-document flag, or set it as the default in your ~/.gemrc file. See
‘gem help env’ for details.

Description:
The ‘rails new’ command creates a new Rails application with a
default
directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.

You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time
'rails new' runs in the .railsrc configuration file in your home

directory.

Note that the arguments specified in the .railsrc file don't affect 

the
defaults values shown above in this help message.

Example:
rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog

This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
See the README in the newly created application to get going.

I’ve joked with people sometimes that the preferred deployment
strategy for Rails on Windows is a VM running Linux, but depending on
local politics, it may actually be worth considering. (Running a
database this way has significant performance penalties, as the
virtualization layer can make a hash of the DB’s attempts to optimize
physical I/O, but even that may not matter for light or moderate
loads.)
