Trouble installing Ruby on Rails in Windows - no localhost - ruby-on-rails

I'm new to Ruby / Ruby on Rails, and coding in general. I've gone through the Ruby course on Code Academy, and now I'm about to do Ruby on Rails, but was hoping to actually make something as I go through the course, to help with my understanding of it.
I've tried using Windows Command Prompt and Git Bash to make a new rails app. It seems to run fine when I type rails new MySite. It creates a folder in the right place. This also seems to run bundle install on it's own, and if I type bundle install, it says Could not locate Gemfile. But when I type rails server, it doesn't give me a localhost at all. It just says:

Description:
The 'rails new' command creates a new Rails application with a default
directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.
You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time
'rails new' runs in the .railsrc configuration file in your home directory,
or in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rails/railsrc if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set.
Note that the arguments specified in the .railsrc file don't affect the
defaults values shown above in this help message.
Example:
rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog
This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
I've also tried installing Ubuntu (20.04 LTS), as I've read that it can help with rails issues, but I can't get that to work either - I can't even set up a username and password, as it says
The specified network name is no longer available
I have:
Windows 10, Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.1052)
Rails 6.1.4
Ruby 2.7.3p183
Yarn 1.22.10
Node v14.17.2
I'm sorry if I've given too much / not the right info - not sure what would be helpful. I spent most of today and yesterday googling this and trying to figure it out, but I've hit a wall. Any help would be really appreciated

Rails server is started but localhost:3000 shows error

I have just installed Ruby on Rails package that found in http://rubyinstaller.org/ (This is my first attempt to set up the ruby on rails workstation in my xp sp3 system.). The installation process went perfectly without any errors. I started the server using it's console. Server is started but http://localhost:3000 shows an error page (page not found).
I have following display in the console.Am i missing anything?

C:\Sites>
Thank you everyone. Finally I got it worked. The problem was the Gemfile in my test_app folder. I commented on the line gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3' and i got it worked. Hopefully it will work further as well and let me move on.
You have to cd in the directory of the created rails project, then rails s should work fine.
This means also, that the server has not started yet. Please read carefully the output of the console commands, most of the time they tell you what they do, or why they don't work as expected.
First of all you have to create a new rails project. I think that C:/Sites is not your rails project directory.
rails new test_app
It will create a rails project in your directory. than go to cd test_app. and try to start your server.
Hope it will work.
Server is not started. You need to navigate to your rails app folder, install needed gems and start the server:
cd <your app folder>
bundle install
rails s

Not able to run rails server

Any suggestions on why am I getting this? My ruby version is ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-darwin11.1.0] and rails version is Rails 3.1.1. I have done bundle install and gem update --system.

Thanks!
I encountered this same problem a while back and I think it was due to an outdated gemfile. Make sure you have the same version of rails listed in your gemfile as is installed on your machine.
You should look in to using RVM if you don't currently. It will keep all of your environments for different applications separate (including ruby versions and gem lists/versions).

But it doesn't actually create the application. What's wrong here?
turns out I needed to install the rails gem again: gem install rails
Have you tried rails new ./search ?
I just tried it in windows, Ruby 1.9 w rails 3.0.9 and didn't have that problem.
If you're using RVM, try creating a new gemset and then install rails.
rvm gemset create better
rvm gemset use better
gem install rails -v x.x.x
rails new betterApplication

Can't generate new app with Rails 3.0.6 or 3.0.7

When I try to generate a new app with Rails 3.0.6 or 3.0.7 installed I just get the instructions for using the rails command. For some reason Rails seems to think that I have typed in the wrong syntax (which I haven't, of course). Everything works fine in 3.0.5 or lower, though. I run Ruby 1.9.2 and Ubuntu 10.04.

try updating rubygems;
$ gem update --system
It seems running rvm rubygems current breaks this, at least for me.
I ran the command as it was mentioned here that it would get rid of all the deprecation warnings, running gem update --system fixes it, and brings back the deprecation warnings.

I'm using Rails 3.0.3 and ruby 1.8.7
I think you are trying to run Rails 2.x applications with this command. It will fail with this message. Since its consistently failing on certain apps, check if they are rails 2.x apps.
You can only run Rails 3.x applications with this command.
You must be missing script/rails file. Maybe you removed it by accident, or did something wrong while upgrading from Rails 2. Just copy it from a working project (or a new one).
My guess is that you are including a character after the 's'. If you type "Rails s" it will work but not if you type "Rails s ".
It is consistent with which apps work and which apps do not work?
I had the same issue. I figured out the problem was created by deleting rails 4.0.0beta1 from my system. I still had version 3.2 installed but I think the deletion deleted the scripts folder as well. After typing
gem install rails
It worked again. Maybe this helps someone.
