Prior to Rails 3, the job of the rails script was simply to create a new RoR app, which is all you’re doing: Creating a new Rails app in the script/server directory.

You want to run ruby script/server to invoke the server script with the Ruby interpreter.

In Rails 3, the rails script is also responsible for invoking other scripts within your app: ruby script/server has become rails server, ruby script/generate has become rails generate and so on.
