I have followed the Installing the Treehouse VM on Mac
video up to 05:14 but can't connect to the Ruby on Rails welcome page via http://localhost:3000
I already did this course on a different computer (which I have no access to anymore) So I'm now doing this on another Mac. I believe I had the treehouse folder on a hard drive and I've followed the video up to this point where I encountered the above problem.
The following is the command I typed in the Terminal before visiting http://localhost:3000
treehouse:~/projects/testapp $ bin/rails server
Anyone know why I can't connect to the Ruby on Rails welcome page via http://localhost:3000 ?

12,129 PointsAre you running security software that can block network connections? What is your operating system? Reply with your OS and a list of programs you are running then we can see if any of them are security software.

Courses Plus Student 18,036 PointsNo, I don't think so. I haven't downloaded any security software on my Mac. My operating system is OS X 10.11
Where do I find the list of programs I am running?

11,271 PointsHave you found a solution to this problem? I'm having the same issue. When I did vagrant up, it told me to change the Vagrantfile guest to '1234'. I did that and now I can't connect to localhost:3000 when I was able to before.

I don't know. How do I check for that?
