Hi,

I am trying to create the sample application as mentioned at the  
following link:

> **[Radar - O’Reilly](https://www.oreilly.com/radar/?page=2)**
>
> Now, next, and beyond: Tracking need-to-know trends at the intersection of business and technology

But the example doesnt seem to work.  
I am following the exact steps as mentioned on the above page and type  
the following at the command line(as mentioned in the example)  
ruby script\generate controller MyTest

Then after doing this I go to the browser and type the following in the  
address window:  
[http://127.0.0.1:3000/MyTest/](http://127.0.0.1:3000/MyTest/)

## But the response that I get is:

## “We’re sorry, but something went wrong. We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly.”

Plz note that when i do “[http://127.0.0.1:3000/](http://127.0.0.1:3000/)” a web page is opening  
correctly. but not when i do “[http://127.0.0.1:3000/MyTest/](http://127.0.0.1:3000/MyTest/)”

What could be the possible reason and whats the fix. I am a beginner and  
started learning RoR today itself with this first example.  
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,  
Kamal

These days you would need to go to [http://127.0.0.1:3000/my\_test](http://127.0.0.1:3000/my_test)

You’re following a tutorial that is over 4 years old. A lot has  
changed. A good starting place would be the guides on

Fred,  
I tried with “ttp://127.0.0.1:3000/my\_test” as well but it doesnt make  
any difference. Is there any other fix/cause of this problem.  
I will follow the new tutorials that you have suggested.  
Thanks for your suggestion and response.

Regards,  
Kamal

Hi icemag,

## The output is the following in the browser window:

"We’re sorry, but something went wrong.

## We’ve been notified about this issue and we’ll take a look at it shortly."

Any pointers.

Thanks & Regards,  
Kamal

Icemag,

I am sorry, you asked for output on console and not in the browser.  
Infact when I do “[http://127.0.0.1:3000/my\_test](http://127.0.0.1:3000/my_test)”, i dont see any output  
on the console. But when i refresh the page in the browser once again I  
see the following output(repeated twice, probably for the prev trial  
too) on the console(where the server is running):

Thanks BjÃ¸rn Arild MÃ¦land…  
It worked.  
Yes…I have started with  
“[rails.info](http://guides.rails.info/getting_started.html)” itself as suggested by

You’re missing the sqlite3 gem. Try ‘gem install sqlite3’.

However, as Frederick C. pointed out, you’re following a very old

Good luck!
