Also, what were exact steps you took to download and install latest version of rails?
As someone mentioned above, you need to be in the root directory of your app. What does that mean? When you first started developing your app, you probably did a command like: rails new my_app_name, where "my_app_name" is whatever you want your new app to be called. That created a new directory or folder, using that same name. You need to get inside that directory before typing rails sever.
