The rails app is not using any of the bootstrap.css

I am not seeing any of the changes from the bootstrap.css on my html.

This course is old and uses an older version of Bootstrap that has different styles. You should either find that same version for download (it's 2.0.4, current Bootstrap is 3.3.0, a lot has changed) or study the current Bootstrap documentation and find similar styles or decide what different styles you want to use in your project. Also make sure you're not using Rails version 4.0 or higher because it will give you bad times..

I found out that not even the scaffold.css would be used and it was because i was using rails 3.2.6. I switched to rails 3.2.13 and everything works.
