12,474 PointsMoved from home to college. What do I have to change for my ruby app?
I was working my home over the summer and had the entire environment setup on my laptop. I started working on my first application, the grocery list. At home I had it running on my local server. I could type in localhost:3000 and reach my app.
The problem now is I have moved back to college is nothing is working. I take it because I am on their servers it is preventing stuff from working... especially since only one thing can be on the localhost:3000 server.
My question is, what do I have to do to get my application and ruby environment back running? Do I have to completely reset up my entire ruby environment?
Im my terminal I could type bin/rails server and its responds with "-bash: bin/rails: No such file or directory"
Thank you.

Courses Plus Student 53,747 PointsThis seems very interesting it's a problem related to your bash; did you do anything to it; when you go to your main bash dotfile, you should see a path pointing to your ruby installation (use ls -a
in your home directory with your terminal and use your preferred text editor to view the contents of the file).
This is assuming you usually use bash
regularly; many (including myself) use zsh. If you don't, make sure your system is in fact making your preferred shell other than bash the default shell.
Alternatively, if you have something like rbenv
or rvm
installed, make sure that the shell has access to an installation of Ruby you're expecting.

Courses Plus Student 53,747 PointsLocalhost is not dependent on a remote server. Unless you have things like AWS and Proc files pointing to remote servers, it shouldn't be an issue.
- Did you run your server? In other words, did you run
bundle exec rails s
or install binstubs for your app to run throughbin/rails s
? - If you're on a Mac: Did you update OSX? if you're on a Mac and upgraded to a completely new version like Yosemiteβyou have to reenable Apache to get your localhost running again.
