Roger, Most of the tutorials around didn't consider the "Windows users minority". That is a problem I pretend to solve (or minimize at least), with the TrainerOnRails project:
http://www.traineronrails.com/ That way, the commands presented in these tutorials are not exactly the ones we will use in Windows. On the other hand, this one is not particular clear the way they show the database configuration section. Suggestion: delete the blog folder, open a command window on your apps folder and do: E:\TEMP>rails blog E:\TEMP>cd blog E:\TEMP\blog>ruby script/server Then start your browser and call: http://localhost:3000 It must work that way. I strongly suggest you to follow this tutorial: http://www.buildingwebapps.com/podcasts In your case, take a look at the first 8 lessons and check if you are ready with all you need to get this done. Then go forward with the next lessons 9 to 23. In the end you will have done a complete CMS. It works for me. All the best.
