Error // Usage: rails new APP_PATH [options] // when running 'rails server'
- by madphill
Background info:
I'm using GIT to get a repository of a project with Ruby files in it. The project lives in my SITES folder under home directory on my Mac.
I have Ruby: 1.8.7
I have just upgraded Rails to: 3.0.3
All I am trying to accomplish is to be able to render localhost.com:3000 in my browser of the GIT project i've already downloaded so I can work on it locally.
I ran the command 'rails server' and was returned the message below::
Usage:
  rails new APP_PATH [options]
Options:
      [--skip-gemfile]        # Don't create a Gemfile

  -p, [--pretend]  # Run but do not make any changes

  -v, [--version]  # Show Rails version number and quit
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.
