Hassan is correct. After getting it to run locally as 2.1 you're going to want to move the site from Rails 2.1 to 2.2.2 then to 2.3.8 and then finally 3.* There are going to be a lot of deprecations along the way that you will need to fix in order to make the process of moving to the next version easier. The alternative is to get the thing running locally as a 2.1 app and then in a different project re-write the entire application in 3.*.
