Have tried everything i contiune to have EXTREME issues with rails 4 and devise

Question

This will probably be my fourth attempt at posting a discussion on devise and rails 4 and there issues. I always have issues installing devise with rails and even end up having to recreate my entire application after attempting to install it. I have bought a book , asked for help and gone through you guys videos. I cant seem to finish this http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application

Im really starting to feel that im not cut out for web development, i feel like im getting an understanding of something then it upgrades, then I am completely lost. i tried to uninstall devise and start over i got this error

For Rails 4 and Devise:

It's tricky for me as I'm a noob. It's a two part solution for the controller page: Works for me, FYI, I use a :profile_name here and you may not

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
    # Prevent CSRF attacks by raising an exception.
  # For APIs, you may want to use :null_session instead.
  protect_from_forgery with: :exception

  before_filter :configure_permitted_parameters, if: :devise_controller?


protected

  def configure_permitted_parameters
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_up) { |u| u.permit( :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name, :password_confirmation, :password, :email ) }
    devise_parameter_sanitizer.for(:sign_in) { |u| u.permit( :profile_name, :password, :email ) }
  end

end

I had a similar issue with devise not working so i went back and restarted it with rails version 3.2.6 and it works

Devise works with Rails 3.2.12, the version the videos were made with.

This is a common problem when a new version comes out. Gems that worked with older versions may not work under the new rails until they are updated.

Rails 3.2.12 is still common and used and I recommend learning under that first. Then when you are comfortable, update to rails 4.

It's like when Windows and Apple come out with a new OS, not all programs or apps will work on day 1. They have to be updated first. This is the same case with Rails.
