Question

Just bought a new Macbook Pro and tried to follow this tutorial step by step:
http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html

The first difference is that now I need to run: rails new expenses –database=mysql
to generate a project using mysql, then there is nothing else except “rails” under the script folder. On an older mac I got server, generate and a bunch of other files under script. Is this because of the new version of rails changed the way of doing things? Or I did something wrong?

Can someone point out a new tutorial or help me fix the problem?
Here is the rest of running rails new expenses, it does not give any error indication.

Thanks

Wow that tutorial is old. It is looking at Rails 1.0.

I suggest following another guide completely as a lot has probably changed

There is plenty out there to look at

Ruby on Rails Tutorial – A full book free online

Rails Guides – General guides

Railscasts – Screen casts on various subjects
