3,140 Points"Could not determine content-length of response body" error
I'm just getting started with Ruby and am trying to complete the "Generate a Rails Application" step.
I'm able to successfully create the treebook folder in Terminal, but when I run the rails server, I see the following message (last few lines):
Michaels-MacBook-Pro:treebook msarlitt$ rails server
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.12 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000

How do I resolve this error? Nothing else seems to work after this point. Please note that I'm a total newbie to programming and have never used Terminal before today.

Treehouse TeacherHi Michael Sarlitt,
You should be safe to ignore that warning. Are you able to visit the site in a web browser?
Our Rails teacher, Jason Seifer, might know more.

Treehouse Guest TeacherAs Nick Pettit said, you can safely ignore that error. The short explanation is that it has to do with different versions of things and it really doesn't matter :)

3,140 PointsThanks Nick Pettit. I can access the site in a web browser at that point, but things break when I try to add a status update.
Jason Seifer here's what I'm doing in Terminal from the very beginning (this is for the "Generating a Rails App" stage):
unknownb8f6b11309ab:treebook msarlitt$ rake db:migrate == CreateStatuses: migrating ================================================= -- create_table(:statuses) -> 0.0011s == CreateStatuses: migrated (0.0011s) ========================================
Any ideas of what's going on? Pulling my hair out here ;)

3,140 PointsOye, finally figured it out. I never started the server again with the "rails server" command before accessing the webpage. Thanks anyway for the help.
