Can't access http://local:3000/projectName/

Rails
1

Hey, I’m new to RoR and have been having trouble viewing/testing my
project.
I’m working on Windows Vista.

After running the: “ruby script/server” command and navigating through
Firefox to http://local:3000/projectName/ the cmd-prompt spits out a
big error message.

Here’s a snippet of the error (If you need the whole thing, tell me.):

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 2.3.2 application starting on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

By default rails uses sqlite3 for its database layer. You need both
sqlite3 itself and the sqlite3-ruby gem (ruby bindings for sqlite).
Last time I checked you had to ask gem for version 1.2.3 of the
sqlite3-ruby gem (later versions don’t have a prebuilt windows
version)

Also, assuming you have run ruby script/server from the projectName
directory then the url will be http://localhost:3000/ the projectname is
not
required. At least I do not need it.

Thanks for the help.I figured that out the day after I posted this and
forgot to update my post.
But this should be good for anyone else having the same issue.
