Look at what the error is telling you: C:/Sites/rails_projects/first_app/config/environments/development.rb:1:in `<top (required)>': undefined method `configure' for #<FirstApp::Application:0x273df20 > (NoMethodError)
Generally, the exception is "*NoMethodError" *means that the interpreter was not able to find a method (in this case "*configure*") in a specific file (in this case "*development.rb". *It even tells you the line, which is after the colon "*1"*). Can you provide the contents of the development.rb file and of any other file that you perhaps are "requiring" inside of it ? 2014-06-24 16:13 GMT-03:00 Will Acheson <[email protected]>: > Hello everyone, > > I am a total beginner to ruby and rails, but am really excited about > learning the environment.
