instead of the starting server, create folder “server” or “s” with project files.

ruby 1.8.7
rails 2.3.14
I need this version of ruby and rails.

What i must to do?

Answer 1

For rails versions before 3.0 the rails command is used only for creating a new application

rails APP_NAME

Then you use script/server to run the dev server

In newer versions of rails you use the rails command to do many things like create app, run server, etc…

If you are creating a new app you would be better off on ruby 1.9.2 and rails 3.1

If you need to run 2.3 – better invest in a good book that targets that version
