Leandro ~ It worked! For the benefit of other newbies (or oldbies) who hit this problem, here's the story:
I added the line you suggested to Gemfile. (Curiously, in the original Gemfile, there was no 'coffee-script-source'.) I tried to restart the server, and got this: C:\rblog>ruby bin\rails server You have requested: coffee-script-source = 1.8.0 The bundle currently has coffee-script-source locked at 1.9.1.1. Try running `bundle update coffee-script-source` Run `bundle install` to install missing gems. I took the suggestion to run `bundle update coffee-script-source`. The server restarted OK. When I requested http://localhost:3000/, the "Hello, Rails!" screen popped right up! ~ Thanks for your help! ~ Ken On Monday, May 18, 2015 at 4:42:18 PM UTC-4, Leandro França wrote: > > Ken, > > This could be a coffescript compatibility problem, according to some > stackoverflow posts.
