Thanks to both for replies. I have bought Beginning Ruby which I am going through to learn the basic Program API, syntax etc but I really wanted to learn the rails framework. You are both right, the tutorial is old. I was having to substitute commands such as ruby script/server for rails server right from the off. I deleted the previous directory structures I had created and started again following this tutorial instead http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/getting_started.html Everything is going well so far so I guess it was just the age of the tutorial. Thanks for the replies though. Onwards and upwards. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
