It is some time since I used InstantRails (setup a dual boot to Ubuntu and never looked back) but my memory is that IR has a menu item for starting the server, under Manage Apps or something. I also think that the application should be in the rails_apps folder (or something) under your IR folder. Have a look through the IR docs. Try one of the supplied demo apps to check it is all working. I found IR certainly the easiest way to get Rails going on Windows but I think it is now several issues out of date. That is not a major issue as it is easy to update to the latest, though I forget the exact commands to enter at this point. Note then that the tutorial you are following may be out of date. The rails guides at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ are excellent, start with Getting Started. This will, of course, assume you have an up to date rails installation. Remember to do all rails related activity within the IR environment. I would also suggest considering upgrading to Ubuntu or similar, there will be additional learning curve but then you may, like me, wonder why you did not take the plunge earlier. A dual boot allows me to keep windows for the rare occasions when I need it and allows one to keep doing the critical stuff while picking up the new.
