Then there's your problem. The syntax of the rails command changed between versions 2 and 3. The usage message you provided comes from version 3. So...you've got Rails 3's command-line script, and a Rails 2 application. Do you have the Rails 2.3.5 gem available at all? (Check gem list rails and the vendor/rails directory in your app.) > and even when I tried to > do as you said"app root directory and typing script/about" it did not do > anything but gave the same error message like previous. I forgot to tell > you that I'm working on windows machine.. That's a problem right there. If you can work on a Mac or other *nix box, do. If not, download Virtual Rails. And I highly recommend using RVM (if you're on *nix) to give this application its own gemset. (If you *must* work on Windows, I understand pik is similar.) > its weird because applications > I have created on my local machine using rails new myapp works and all > the other commands work with myapp..
