I cannot get it started

I did have Ruby downloaded and followed the tutorials inside the video. However for some reasons when I type "bundle exec rails server" The first line mentioned "DL is deprecated,please use Fiddle" and after the line"Ctrl-C to shutdown server", there are bunch of lines I do not know. What could be the possible solution? Thanks

Hey Vincent...i just watched the "Installing the Treehouse VM on Windows" and this way i can use ruby on rails.

Other way i found was to install "bitnami ruby stack". This one is different from the one that treehouse uses on their videos but at least i was able to test rails on my computer.

Good luck.

Sounds like it is working then. I get the DL is deprecate message and you can just ignore it. If it states press ctrl + c to shut down server then it shows your server is running. You can open up a browser type localhost:3000and should be good to go

[does not work](C:\Users\vincentt.2013\Desktop\capture.PNG) . Localhost : 8080 or 3000 is still not good.

What do you get when you goto localhost:3000 also what text are you seeing in command prompt I get this

$ rails s
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.0.4 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

I am having the same problem...After "=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server" It appears "Exiting" and on the next lines something like "C:/Ruby200-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/tzinfo-1.1.0/data_source.rb:199:in 'rescue in creat_default_data_source': No timezone data source could be found. To resolve this, either install TZInfo::Data (e.g.by running 'gem install tzinfo-data') or specify a zoneinfo directory using 'TZInfo::DataSource.set(:zoneinfo, zoneinfo_path)'. (TZInfo::DataSourceNotFound)" and it goes on and on.

Can someone help me on this? I get this error on my laptop (Windows 8) and desktop (Windows 7).
