I can create a new project using rails and I can use stuff like
rails migration ...
and i (correctly) get a error because the sqlite gem is missing.
but when i try using rails migration ... with a project i checked out from github, it doesn't recognize that it is a rails project i get:
Usage:
rails new APP_PATH [options]

-r, [--ruby=PATH] # Path to the Ruby binary of your choice

[--skip-gemfile] # Don't create a Gemfile
and it goes on. any ideas?
edit: it's probably an important detail that earlier my rails wasn't working at all. i had to cp /usr/bin/ruby to /usr/bin/local/ruby
I suspect the project from Github probably uses Rails 2.x and you probably have Rails 3.x.
Either that or perhaps you just forgot to "cd" into the folder after getting it from Github.
You mentioned that earlier your Rails wasn't working at all. If that's the case and if you need to switch among different versions of Rails, a really nice thing to try is rvm. It's really popular: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/

I am trying to work with ryan bates' sample code that he uses for his railscast on Daemon (episode 129). I have rails 3 installed, and when I downloaded his code, I cannot run the server. To try and fix this, I copied my gemfile and gemfile.lock from a standard rails 3 application, and put it into his application, then ran bundle install. Still, my rails server does not respond. Instead, I get the following (see below).
My guess is that I am having issues because railscasts uses rails 2 (I believe) whereas I am using rails 3. Is there any way that I can still use his program?
Thanks.

Description:
The rails new command creates a new Rails application with a default
directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.
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.
this is not going to work this way. there are too many differences between rails 3.x and 2.x (different behavior of rails command, different config, bundler etc).
i would create a new rails project and just copy the app folder from the screencast.
anyways, this is not a good idea, as the gems that are used for rails 2.x are different from those in rails 3.x so you will most likely experience some errors with this approach.
To run server in rails 3 you should use following command from your source folder:
rails server
But I think it's easier to install rails 2 and appropriate version of ruby than trying to fight issues of migrating from rails 2 to rails 3. To switch between different ruby version you may use rvm.
Any suggestions on why am I getting this? My ruby version is ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [i686-darwin11.1.0] and rails version is Rails 3.1.1. I have done bundle install and gem update --system.

I encountered this same problem a while back and I think it was due to an outdated gemfile. Make sure you have the same version of rails listed in your gemfile as is installed on your machine.
You should look in to using RVM if you don't currently. It will keep all of your environments for different applications separate (including ruby versions and gem lists/versions).
I run rails new search in my console, and I get all of this:

But it doesn't actually create the application. What's wrong here?
turns out I needed to install the rails gem again: gem install rails
Have you tried rails new ./search ?
I just tried it in windows, Ruby 1.9 w rails 3.0.9 and didn't have that problem.
If you're using RVM, try creating a new gemset and then install rails.
rvm gemset create better
rvm gemset use better
gem install rails -v x.x.x
rails new betterApplication
When I try to generate a new app with Rails 3.0.6 or 3.0.7 installed I just get the instructions for using the rails command. For some reason Rails seems to think that I have typed in the wrong syntax (which I haven't, of course). Everything works fine in 3.0.5 or lower, though. I run Ruby 1.9.2 and Ubuntu 10.04.
rails new app

try updating rubygems;
$ gem update --system
It seems running rvm rubygems current breaks this, at least for me.
I ran the command as it was mentioned here that it would get rid of all the deprecation warnings, running gem update --system fixes it, and brings back the deprecation warnings.
I'm trying to start the server on a rails app. with some apps it works fine, others I get this message:

I'm using Rails 3.0.3 and ruby 1.8.7
I think you are trying to run Rails 2.x applications with this command. It will fail with this message. Since its consistently failing on certain apps, check if they are rails 2.x apps.
You can only run Rails 3.x applications with this command.
You must be missing script/rails file. Maybe you removed it by accident, or did something wrong while upgrading from Rails 2. Just copy it from a working project (or a new one).
My guess is that you are including a character after the 's'. If you type "Rails s" it will work but not if you type "Rails s ".
It is consistent with which apps work and which apps do not work?
I had the same issue. I figured out the problem was created by deleting rails 4.0.0beta1 from my system. I still had version 3.2 installed but I think the deletion deleted the scripts folder as well. After typing
gem install rails
It worked again. Maybe this helps someone.
