Question

ashamed to say, i got home decided to follow a tutorial and got stuck very early on. I’m running rails 3.1.1 on windows and attempting the tut from http://guides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html

If you look at 4.2 it tells us to run a command: $ rm public/index.html – which in windows i think is just in cmd type cd blog and then its just erase public/index.html

But i get the error returned: Invalid Switch "index.html".

Anyone who can shed some light i would be much appreciative. I can’t beleive im stuck already!

Thanks
M

Your problem is that in windows you have to use backslash instead of slash in unix-like systems. Use erase public\index.html
