7,625 PointsSorry I've been MIA the past day - my family's in town visiting so I'm taking off, but I'll try to pull your code down and help out as soon as I can!
alicia glenn
3,706 Pointsok no problem, thanks :).
Alan Johnson
7,625 PointsWhat are you doing to get that error to happen? I just loaded up your repo and it's working fine for me right now.

Alan Johnson
7,625 PointsI just loaded up your app, and it's working fine for me when I go to /statuses. Really weird.
Have you tried stopping and starting your Rails server just to make sure nothing odd is happening there?
alicia glenn
3,706 Pointsyes, just by clicking control c right? Could it be a rails 4 error? are the lessons updated?
Alan Johnson
7,625 PointsCtrl-C is right! Just hit Ctrl-C and then start it back up again with rails s.
They're not updated to Rails 4 yet, but I ran your app earlier today and it worked fine, and I was using your Gemfile so was using whatever version or Rails you're on.

3,706 Pointsyea I've restarted my server several times, no luck.
