Also, since you're running this on a local machine you can remove the
set :bind, 0.0.0.0
and just visit localhost:4567

Courses Plus Student 4,499 Points"just visit localhost:4567" helped me solve my issue. I still had "http://localhost:4567/wiki" in my browser from the previous excercise. Thanks!

10,448 PointsNot a problem, your error code helped.
When Sinatra does this:
#Try this:
get '/wiki' do
"Hello World"
end
It suggests that the route you're trying to visit doesn't exist.
If you tried to visit /monkeys for example it would say
#Try this:
get '/monkeys' do
"Hello World"
end

10,448 PointsCan you post the error you're getting? Is it just the 'Sinatra doesn't know this ditty' one?

Courses Plus Student 4,499 PointsSinatra doesn’t know this ditty.
Try this: get '/wiki' do "Hello World" end
