Error when connecting to rails server

Attempting on my mac to connect to the rails server by typing: bin/rails server.

It returns only this: -bash: bin/rails: No such file or directory

which is very dissimilar to the video. When I head to localhost 3000 it says I forgot to start my server.

Anything helps...

Try just running rails server, without the bin thing. And make sure you are in the project's folder.

We're getting there. It now looks like my terminal is booting/connecting to the server:

=> Booting WEBrick => Rails 4.0.2 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Run rails server -h for more startup options => Ctrl-C to shutdown server [2014-11-02 19:24:45] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1 [2014-11-02 19:24:45] INFO ruby 2.0.0 (2013-11-22) [x86_64-darwin13.3.0] [2014-11-02 19:24:45] INFO WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=2630 port=3000

but when I head to http://localhost:3000 I get the same "You forgot to start your server, didn’t you?" page.

Not sure what to do at this point
