Statuses error

Hello I am trying to learn ruby and rails and I am following the videos on this site and am stuck on this one: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/programming/build-a-simple-ruby-on-rails-application/getting-started-with-rails/generate-a-rails-application

I do everything correctly and everything goes exactly how it does when Jason Seifer does it. Until he tells me to go to 127.0.0.1:3000/statuses/ when I do that it gives me an error: http://i.imgur.com/IdTV9Kw.png

What did I do wrong?

make sure you have your rails server working I had a problem not the same message though. if that's not the problem then try 127.0.0.0:3000. also did you try it in chrome.

I tried on 127.0.0.0:3000, 0.0.0.0:3000 doesn't work on windows. My rails server seems to be working the only problem is that Control - C doesn't shut down my server and it gives me an error when I navigate to 127.0.0.0:3000/statuses

when you start your server it starts correctly right ?
When you key ctrl -c you are not in the directory right. its just a curser right ? Maybe your having a key board problem. Can you copy from control c then paste with control v. If you can I would contacted team tree house support and tell them in detail what the problem is. And also tell them that you posted to the forum because they will tell you to do that make sure to tell them all at once.

127.0.0.0:3000 was working for me then I got an error saying cant find and said had to do a rake routes. I had no routes so couldn't do that and tried 127.0.0.1:3000 and it worked so it can be the rails server as well everything installed correctly ?

And you are using windows command prompt not the rails command prompt ?

I am very sorry I said 127.0.0.0:3000 what I meant was 127.0.0.1:3000 and I am using the Command Prompt with ruby and rails does that matter?

I suggest that you start over from scratch. When you first install ruby and rails... I suggest that the first command you do after "rails new treebook" should be:

 rails server -b localhost

That should put it to http://localhost:3000 or http://127.0.0.1:3000

By starting fresh, it allows you to see what you've done.
