'Rails Server' command failure

Question

I am trying to set up a RoR development environment on my Windows 7 PC.

I have so far been able to:

1. Install Ruby

2. Install Rails

3. Install a few gems, including the mysql2 gem (I had to download and install the MySQL community server again, since the one which came with XAMPP was 32 bit, and my Ruby is 64 bit)

4. Execute the 'Rails New' command to create a project

5. Run 'Bundler Install' command

Now however, when I try to run the server from the project root, I am getting a huge error message of more than 600 lines, beginning with:

So, what do I need to do, to ride ruby on rails?

BTW: Initially I thought the problem could have been with the Webrick Server. So I have configured apache manually to listen to port 3000. However, this hasn't helped.

Another concern is that I can neither see the full output in the command prompt, nor can I save it to a text file. So I do not really know what the full error message is.

Answer 1

Webrick uses port 3000. Don't set Apache to listen to port 3000 because that will create a port conflict. Start webrick from the command line with 'rails s'.
