Installing a Ruby Development Environment

Hi, I have three problems with setting up Ruby Development Environment

  1. when I go to chrome and open up to localhost:3000 it doesn't work, I have checked to make sure that the port was 3000

  2. I am not sure if this is a problem, but when I run the "bundle exec rails server" in the windows command, it gave me a message saying "DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle"?

  3. I get an error saying "no source of timezone data could be found <TZInfo :: DataSourceNotFound>

Please help me, my environment is not working

Thanks

  1. did you run rails server successfully? look at point 3 below.

  2. this is just a warning, it doesn't prevent bundle from working. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15590450/ruby-2-0-0p0-irb-error-dl-is-deprecated-please-use-fiddle

I don't recommend using Windows for Rails development - I worked like this for a few months, but there was always something wrong, and Windows environment is much slower and less customizable. I suggest installing free VMWare Player and creating a virtual machine with Ubuntu Linux there.
