User · Answer

On rails 3  the simpliest way is rails s  In rails 2  you can use   script server start   You can also use another servers  like thin or unicorn  that also provide more performance   I use unicorn  you can easily start it with unicorn rails    BTW  if you use another things  like a worker  sidekiq  resque  etc   I strongly recommend you to use foreman  so you can start all your jobs in one terminal windows with one command and get a unified log

I also faced the same issue  but my fault was that I was running  rails s  outside of my application directory  After opening the cmd  just go inside your application and run the commands from their  it worked for me

I believe this is what happens if  rails new  project   has not actually executed correctly  If you are doing this on windows and  rails server  just returns the help screen  you may need to restart your command prompt window and likely repeat your setup instructions  This is more likely true if this is your first time setting up the environment
