Thanks Walter, for your reply.
The tutorial is a year or so old. They are using a slightly older version,
but still 4.0+.
I am running the current stable build of Rails, which is 4.1.2. For a
webserver, it was recommended that I run what they are running in the
tutorial, which is WEBrick.
I installed everything within the past week, so all software components
should be current.
I am running "rails s" in Terminal and it shows WEBrick running and logs
info when pages are accessed, redirected, etc.
My routes.rb file is the installed default. Here it is:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root "demo#index"
#get 'demo/index'
match ':controller(/:action(:id))', :via => :get
end
Thanks in advance for your help!
