I do not get the error message when running "rails server" noted here: https://teamtreehouse.com/community/ruby-on-rails-localhost3000-not-working so I'm assuming that rails in instated correctly and it is something else. I also checked that I am in the correct directory. Any idea?

4,236 PointsConfiguration issues like this can be frustrating. As a first step, when you type 'rails server' into the terminal, what message are you getting? For example, I get this:
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.4 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2015-12-19 12:28:05] INFO WEBrick 1.3.1
