Now for those of us that are using windows - If you are an administrator and see this error

ActionView::Template::Error (Permission denied @ utime_failed) C:/User/..../tmp/cache/assets/sprochets/v3.0/E5/E5PZx-mq8.cache

Then it is Permission and Ownership setting issue on Windows. You can go to the tmp folder on your application and give yourself(User) permission to **Read, Write and Execute ** on the folder. Click [here][1] to view how to give permissions.

Quick Fix. Open your terminal and run the following command as an administrator

    takeown /f  /r /d y

Then Restart your server.
