How to fix "uninitialized constant SampleApp" - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm trying to run rails server and I'm seeing something like this:
C:\Users\Mama i Tata>cd c:/rails_project/my_app
c:\rails_project\my_app>rails s
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.6 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting

I'm using Ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20) [i386-mingw32].
Got any ideas?

Answer 1

As per the debug log and the Rails tutorial in chapter 5, what I understand is you tried to copy and paste the routes file:
SampleApp::Application.routes.draw do
get "static_pages/home"
.......
end
SampleApp here represents the name of the application and from your directory name I think it should be MyApp.
Your routes file should be:
MyApp::Application.routes.draw do
get "static_pages/home"
.......
end
That's just a first-look guess.
