after following all the instructions from the video i came to the point "bundle exec rails server" and it shows me the following error message
C:\testapp>bundle exec rails server
DL is deprecated, please use Fiddle

n `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 tzi
nfo-data`) or specify a zoneinfo directory using `TZInfo::DataSource.set(:zonein
fo, zoneinfo_path)`. (TZInfo::DataSourceNotFound)
I run gem install tzinfo-data but it still doesn't work. Do you know what's wrong?

gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :mswin]
You most likely do. However you are probably running a 64 bit version of windows, which the following line will not pick up. You need to add a 64bit version to that platforms array:
gem 'tzinfo-data', platforms: [:mingw, :mswin, :x64_mingw]
after making these changes run
$ bundle update
$ bundle install
(dont include the $ in your commands, its just there to signify the terminal prompt)
and then try starting your server again

42,016 Pointsthat looks correct. try saving your gem file then running bundle update again.

6,785 Pointsthats what I did but it isnt working...
is there a difference between installing the ruby development enviroment as it is shown in this course and the full kit from railsinstaller.org? I just downloaded the railsinstaller (ruby 2.0.0) and it is working
Stone Preston
42,016 Pointshow did you install before?

42,016 Pointsif you installed the x64 version of ruby did you install the dev kit?
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
if you didnt do that im sure thats what caused it
Amin Ben Said
6,785 PointsI downloaded the x64 version of devkit and installed it as shown in the course - like 5 times :-/

6,785 Pointshi edvards, no I still have this issue. In the meantime I just installed the 2.0 version from railsinstaller.org and that's working for me so far.
