I can't seem to setup the rails server correctly. When I attempt to connect to http://0.0.0.0:3000 it cannot display the page. Here is my CMD output:
C:\Sites>rvm use 1.9.3 'rvm' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

As you can see RVM isn't recognized. I am running Windows 7 32bit.

On windows the way to start rails is to type rails s webbrick will then tell you the address it's starting on. By default you can access the rails web server webbrick on 127.0.0.1:3000.
Both the rvm and 0.0.0.0 only apply if you are working on a OS X.
You can kill the process or use CTRL-Break to stop the webbrick server.

Thank you for your support. I wasn't aware of this while watching the video but I just notice the teacher notes.
Thanks.
