This message sometimes appears when the gem of the adapter to the  
database  
is not installed.  
What database do you use?

The page you’re getting is just a default error page for production  
environments. How are you starting the server?  
ruby script\server? Try adding RAILS\_ENV=development to that command:

ruby script\server RAILS\_ENV=development

In the development environment, the page shown when an error occurs  
should be more informative for the developer, showing some debugging  
information and stack trace.

Regardless of environment, try looking at your logs which should show  
some information that point you on the right direction. In this case,  
I suspect you’ll see something around the route “/garbage” not being  
defined or found, but your logs should tell you exactly what’s going  
on.

Hope that helps,
