Hello, I have made it to the "generate rails application" video on the "Building a simple ruby on rails app" section. I have followed the video to a T and and got what is shown below as a run time error. This error occurs when i put this in the browser bar (127.0.0.1:3000/statuses/). can someone tell me what is wrong? and how to fix it?
