Starting the Rails Server on Localhost

I am trying to access the local host page for ruby on rails, but it doesn't seem to work for me. I can't seem to get to http://0.0.0.0:3000 or http://localhost:3000. I start my rails server then type in the addresses and nothing comes up or says webpage can't be displayed. I would greatly appreciate any feedback. Thank you!

What does it say when you start your rails server?

when i go in to cmd i type in new rails treebook then it says Overwrite C:/Sites/treebook/config/initializers/secret_token.rb? (enter "h" for help) [Ynaqdh] and i write n because i dont want to overwrite it and I am trying to pick up where I left off (thats the only way I know how to open my treebook directory and i don't know if that is correct) and then I type rails server and it pops up with a lot of code and it appears to be working but Nothing works on my localhost.

I don't know if this is because I did not open sublime text 2 from the cmd or because of some other error.

Thank you for any feedback. I appreciate it!

It's only necessary to run the "rails new treebook" command once. After that type in "cd treebook" and then "rails server". Then paste the output here.
