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.
