Installing rails

Have been following the video on how to set up ruby on windows but I had a slight hick up near the end of it. I typed "bundle exec rails server" and then went to check http://localhost:3000 only to find it did not work.

command prompt came back with the following after typing the last command:

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.1.1 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Run 'rails server -h' for more startup options
=> Notice server is listening on all interfaces <0.0.0.0>. Consider suing 127.0.0.1 <--binding option>
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting
C:/Ruby200-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/tzinfo-1.1.0/lib/tzinfo/data_source.rb:199:in 'rescue in create_default_data_source': No timezone data source could be found. To resolve this, either install TZInfo::Data <e.g. by running 'gem install tzinfo, zoneinfo_path>'. <TZInfo::DataSourceNotFound>
from C:/Ruby200-x64/lib/ruby/gems/2.0.0/gems/tzinfo-1.1.0/lib/tzinfo/data_source.rb196:in 'create_default_data_source'

And that last line has about 25 lines very similar following it.

Any help on this will be appreciated!

Hey Marty Hitchcock try doing the following and let us know if it helps:

gem install tzinfo
gem install zoneinfo_path

gem install tzinfo resulted in: 

Successfully installed tzinfo-1.1.0

gem install zoneinfo_path resulted in: 

ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'zoneinfo_path' <>=0> in any repository

Thanks for the help despite the result. I will wait and see what to do next.
