I am running the current stable build of Rails, which is 4.1.2. For a webserver, it was recommended that I run what they are running in the tutorial, which is WEBrick.
I installed everything within the past week, so all software components should be current.
I am running "rails s" in Terminal and it shows WEBrick running and logs info when pages are accessed, redirected, etc.
My routes.rb file is the installed default. Here it is:
Rails.application.routes.draw do
root "demo#index"
#get 'demo/index'
match ':controller(/:action(:id))', :via => :get
end
Thanks in advance for your help!

What version of Rails are you using, and is it exactly the same version as specified in the tutorial? (Patch level doesn't matter as much as major and minor version.)
Since you're not getting an error, it's hard to say why this is working out this way. Are you running the code using a server in your Terminal? (Did you start the server with rails server in the project directory?)
What does your routes.rb file look like?
