NameError when I run my rails server

I ran the command rails server -p 8000 in the console to start my rails app, and I went to localhost:8000 in my browser, but I got an error saying something went wrong. I checked my console, and I saw this:

Started GET "/" for 127.0.0.1 at 2015-08-15 14:21:23 -0400

I updated all of my gems yesterday, including rails, so I'm thinking it has something to do with that. Is there something I did wrong when I updated all of the gems? I ran the command, and then I updated the Gemfile, but did I miss anything? (Let me know if you want me to put the Gemfile in here as well) Here's my Gemfile

source 'https://rubygems.org'

I think I figured out the problem. I made a new app, without the two gems, and it worked. I went to my app and took out one of the gems (dawnscanner) and it worked.

You have to require the whole of active_model since it uses autoload to "lazily require" classes as needed.

The following code works fine:

require 'active_model'


class Person
  include ActiveModel::Validations
end
