Question

I couldn’t find anyone else with this problem so I thought I’d ask.

rails new myNewRailsApp

This works fine.

cd myNewRailsApp
ls

Reveals everything seems to have generated properly.

rails server

This creates a new directory “server” and creates a new rails application. It also seems to happen with “generate” and other command words. I’m on version 3.0.9 (considering rolling back now), and I purged it, all gems, and reinstalled. Am I missing something obvious?

Edit: I’m running on Ubuntu 11.04.

Answer 1

Looks as though it’s using Rails 2 to generate a new app within your app. I’ve done this a few times and the amount of apps I’ve created with app names of “c” and “s”.

To get round either use

bundle exec rails server

or

script/rails server

Or uninstall rails 2 from your system
