rails server not working in Git Bash or cmd

I tried to run rails server from the app directory. It was working this morning. The only thing I know of that I changed was installing Bootstrap and extracting it in the app directory. But I cleared those files out of the main directory, so not sure what the problem is.

If you are following the treehouse tutorial / lesson try copying the lesson source files in place of yours. What is the error you get when trying to start the server?

You probably need to cd into your app directory.

I'm in there. Also tried uninstalling and re-installing everything, but no luck yet.
