Here is step by step what I did.
cd ~/rails_projects
rails new demo_app1
cd demo_app1
(modified my gem file for rails 3.2.13. Ssqlite3 to 1.3.5 sass-rails to 3.2.4 coffee rails to 3.2.2 uglier to 1.2.3 jquery-rails to 2.0.1 and pg to 0.12.2)
then bundle update
bundle install --without production
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
then rails generate scaffold User name:string email:string
but it doesn't generate the scaffolding all I get is the options menu which is posted below.

Description:
The 'rails new' command creates a new Rails application with a default
directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.
You can specify extra command-line arguments to be used every time
'rails new' runs in the .railsrc configuration file in your home directory.
Note that the arguments specified in the .railsrc file don't affect the
defaults values shown above in this help message.
Example:
rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog
This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
See the README in the newly created application to get going.
Where am I going wrong and how do I fix this to make it scaffold?
First you have to install the `gem 'sqlite3' add that in gemfile
And then bundle install......
one more thing firstly if you have RVM insalled on your machine then select a ruby version with rvm and after that
check the ruby version
ruby -v
and rails version
rails -v
if both give you version which you have used in your application and bundle complete then it will not give the above options and create the model

I have been trying to access or at least show my server in my Rails by running the command rails s or rails server and it does not work:
At first it told me I had to install new gems and to run the command bundle install to upgrade them and I did. It installed everything "correctly".
Now instead, I just get some usage help instead of Rails (for example commands I can use). I thought that Rails was out but I run the command rails new myApp and it does create me one and the bundle installs ok. I just want to start my app and try localhost:port, and that to open my app.
It happens the same when I try to generate something, for example rails g model OneModel (or generate instead of g) and for anything I want to generate. It seems it isn't understanding my commands.
I am noob new to ubuntu and far beyond that new to Rails and ruby. If you can help me I'd be so glad. Here's the output I get:

You have to run rails s from the project root directory.
eg, If you create a rails application, say rails new my_app, it will create a skeleton application my_app in the current directory. Now you have to cd to that directory to start the server

Even running 'rails console' return me the same message.I don't understand why the generate command does not work.
I am currently using rails 3.2.13 and ruby 1.9.3.
Thanks a lot for your help.
I think you are not in rails application directory. Please check path and run command again.
This message generally occurred when you try to run generate controller command out of application directory.
I think you are not running the command inside Rails root directory.You have to navigate to the application before running the rails generators.If you have an application named blog then follow the below commands
cd blog
rails g controller posts
Thanks a lot for all you suggestions. What I did was simply to create a new application using rails new new_app and copy the files of my original rails application to this new directory.
After I did that, it seems to work fine. I must have messed up something in the original application folder.

I suppose you've created rails new using one version of Rails and than changed it in the Gemfile. Because of that if you run any rails generate command it'll use new version but it'll not detect your directory as any project, so it'll not create anything.
When I run the command
rails g migration migration_name
I will get the "error" message:

It's first time when I got this message. In other projects this command works well, but here I am still getting this message...
What caused that? Am I missing something?
(yes, I am in the root of the respective project)
You are not running it inside a rails generated project directory. You are running it outside it.
EDIT: It could also be if the script folder is missing. Or the rails script is missing inside the script folder if you are executing it inside the project folder.
I've got the same, and i fixed by doing :
cd /root/path/to/your/project
bundle install
bundle update
VoilĂ :)
Try adding a folder called script to your rails root.
in this folder add a file called rails and add to it
APP_PATH = File.expand_path('../../config/application', FILE)
require File.expand_path('../../config/boot', FILE)
require 'rails/commands'
and execute again
rails g migration migration_name

Am I doing this properly? Do I need to add a flag?
You need to use new... exactly what the output says...
rails new [Application Name]
Usage:
rails new APP_PATH [options]
As the above output says, you missed the new.
