I’ve tried to start the rails server with this line:

$ rails s
  create                                                                                                                                                                
  create  app/controllers                                                                                                                                               
  create  app/helpers                                                                                                                                                   
  create  app/models                                                                                                                                                    
  create  app/views/layouts                                                                                                                                             
  create  config/environments                                                                                                                                           
  ...                                                                                                                                          
  create  log/test.log

But if I write down this:

$ script/rails s                                                                                                                    
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/bundler-1.0.10/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:138: warning: Insecure world writable dir /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 in PATH, mode 040777
=> Booting WEBrick                                                                                                                                                          
=> Rails 3.0.1 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
...

Anyone can see the problem? I think is a problem with environment variables, but I don’t know how to fix it.

Thanks

    I just came across this problem. I was switching from a Windows environment to Linux. My Linux version of rails is 2.3.14 while my Windows version was 3.0.1. On Windows “rails s” or “rails server” worked as expected to start a server, but on Linux it just created new projects with the names “s” and “Server” respectively. What finally explained it is the answer to the question below. Apparently the command behavior was changed between rails versions.

    rails script/server doesn't start the server

    The best solution is probably to update to the latest rails.

    I was able to do that on my linux box by following the instructions below and using “sudo gem install rails“
