[Rails] Re: Noob Install Failed 0.0.0.0:3000

Hello again!

I call it tautological learning ... you stick out your finger, get
burned and don't do that again, else, you don't get burned and you
internalize the response with the option for modification in the
future.

Yep, the white space in the path was the culprit. I wanted to
stuff all web stuff in my Apache htdocs dir to make things easy to
back up. Apparently, rails was not willing to accommodate.

The install worked OK if I simply chose a path directly off c:

Not what I wanted to do, but ... OK, success is a better option than
failure.
