Question

After installing RVM (which automatically upgrade my ruby to 1.9.3 and rails to 3.2.9), rails server or rails s does not start the server in Rails 3.2.9, but just print out the documentation with Usage and Options.

I use the old method of ruby script/server, but then I receive error:

/Users/FooUser/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
require': cannot load such file -- script/../config/boot (LoadError)
from
/Users/FooUser/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p327/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/rubygems/custom_require.rb:36:in
require’ from script/server:2:in `’

…Everything just broke apart after I install RVM..

Answer 1

script/server is the old old old way of doing it. script/server doesn’t exist within Rails 3+ apps. script/rails is the way now.

If rails is just printing out the docs, it’s because this file doesn’t exist. That would lead me into thinking that the application you’re attempting to run this on isn’t a Rails 3 app.
