just an update/follow up. I can successfully run rails and get a rails server going on my localhost. However, my paths remain totally messed up and I dont know why. I get the error I originally posted about anywhere I go (and I am completely certain I am not inside a path that already has a rails app in it) except, if I go above my home file into my what i call my root file, it looks like this. mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ cd .. mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/$ cd .. mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/$ ls app cdrom initrd.img lost+found proc selinux usr bin dev initrd.img.old media root srv var blah etc lib mnt run sys vmlinuz boot home lib64 opt sbin tmp vmlinuz.old mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/$
my understanding is this cant really be right. To get a rails project working I have to type sudo for every single command i give, from mkdir to rails new app etc. But there is nowhere else in my system where i can run rails new and this was true from the very first time I tried to run it. I attempted to uninstall rails, but even though it seemed I did, running 'which rails' would always yield a result. I wound up reinstalling anyways. maybe this is just how it works? or have I made some sort of correctable mistake? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
