Once I close out of the CMD what folder do I need to go back into. I go back into cd/treehouse but rails server wont run

I closed the cmd now I am trying to get back to where I was. I tunnel to the project folder but the rails server command wont start the server. Do i need to be in a specific folder?

Hi Andrew -

The rails server command should be run when you're in your app directory. For example, ~/treehouse/projects/testapp

At the command prompt, you would cd testapp and then type the rails server command.

Hope this helps!
