I did all the install and setup to use devise in my treebook app, but when I try to start the rails server or do the user model generate part I get the following errors:
C:\Ruby200\apps\mhs88book>rails generate devise user
C:/Ruby200/apps/mhs88book/config/application.rb:23:in <module:Mhs88book>': unde

20,485 PointsThe tutorials use rails 3.2.12 and ruby 1.9.3 I suggest sticking with that if you want to learn with the tutorials.

20,485 PointsTo change the version of rails, go to your gemfile and change it to read:
gem 'rails', '3.2.12'
Then to change versions of ruby, you can't use rvm (Ruby Version Manager) because you are on Windows. It looks like you should investigate https://github.com/vertiginous/pik/ which is the windows version. Can't be of much help because I don't have windows nor have worked with it in many years.

1,119 PointsI've been able to track down the source of the problem. It comes when I add the following line to the application.rb file
config.assets.initialize_on_precompile = false
I took this out and my app is working again.

Routing Error uninitialized constant StatusController
Rails.root: C:/Ruby200/apps/treebook

20,485 PointsIs there more to the error? Check you terminal (where the server is running) and look for the error output.

1,119 PointsI have no idea how to roll back my versions. I'm using the latest versions of both.

1,119 PointsI've been asked to build an app very much like treebook for my high school class reunion. I need to get a handle on this asap.
