bundle exec rails server command fails

I followed all installation directions on my windows 8.1 operating system, but after the command 'bundle exec rails server', rails exits right after starting up.

Anthony,

It's hard to know without some more information. Are you sure you have entered that directory with cd testapp? If you are sure you are in that directory you could try rails s instead of bundle exec rails server.

TZInfo::DataSourceNotFound Errors -- this was one of the errors at the top. I went to https://github.com/tzinfo/tzinfo/wiki/Resolving-TZInfo::DataSourceNotFound-Errors

and followed the directions which told me to go into my Gemfile and edit this gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :mswin]

to this gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :mswin, :x64_mingw]

Thanks for the response Nathan.
