Is this a Path Issue??...If it is then how to set correct path???

Answer 1

Try switching to Ruby version 1.8.7

Answer 2

If you are using ruby 1.9.1+ then you have to change your config.ru

replace "require 'application'" with require './application' because "$: doesn't include the current direcotry."

Answer 3

Please check the following things :

• make sure you have started redis.
• you are in same directory as your application

Answer 4

Best option is to install rhosync in windows with the msi installer (download page), then start the redis.
