Why does my rails command always create a new application?

Question

Forgive me as I\'m new to both *nix and ruby on rails. My rails command always creates a new application and I can\'t figure out why. Running \"rails new myApp\" will just gen

Answer 1

When you create your application with rails new myApp, there should be a myApp/script directory and in there will be a script named rails, this is the rails that understands server and console. So, do this:

$ rails new MyApp
$ cd MyApp
$ script/rails server

To create and start up your application. The naming is a little confusing.
