Ken, This could be a coffescript compatibility problem, according to some stackoverflow posts. ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28421547/rails-execjsprogramerror-in-pageshome )
Try to edit your Gemfile at your app root folder, and change the coffescript line to: gem 'coffee-script-source', '1.8.0' Also, if you're going to develop on rails, I strongly recommend you to use a linux/unix/osx environment. On windows, you can run a virtual machine using vagrant. Regards, Leandro 2015-05-18 17:26 GMT-03:00 kenatsun <kenat...@gmail.com>: > *Oops, my embedded screen shots apparently aren't showing up.
