I understood that. These were permissions. Running bundle exec spork will give me the error that was above. It occurred to me that I might need to run it as a sudo bundle exec spork , and when I did this, I got another error.
I just ran the command as rvmsudo or rvmsudo bundle exec spork since I use RVM and everything works fine. Turns out it had nothing to do with Spork having any problems. Thanks to everyone for watching.
