Unable to start the web application from localhost:3000(ruby on rails)

I had created a demo web application by executing rails tickets and then i executed rails script/server to run it on localhost.

Initially i was able to execute the application in the browser by typing localhost:3000 in the address bar, but then I deleted the folder tickets

Now again i created the same folder but when i try to run it using the same command rails script/server it says that

File exists - script/server

I tried deleting the script/server file but i still couldn't run the localhost:3000 in the browser

What is the solution to this

Hi V., try reading this guide, it is very useful to begin with rails: Getting Started with Rails — Ruby on Rails Guides

Your old one was rails 2.x I guess, but your new one is 3 or above. The new command for starting the server is ‘rails s’

4

i have rails version 2.3.14 with me

5

with rails s it gave the following output:- http://paste.ubuntu.com/1317610/

but still i was unable to localhost:3000

6

I think you just created a new app inside the "s" folder.

Please paste the output of "ruby script/server" command

7

can someone please help me asap.. please !

you should’ve not deleted the script/server file. you’re using rails 2 so the proper way to start

the server is ruby script/server not rails script/server. the shorcut to this is just script/server.

but now i have done it, so what is the solution?? will i never be able to run the app in server again??

create a new rails app and copy script/server?

Please paste the output of "ruby script/server" command

output is

vverma@l-vverma:~/myExp/tickets$ rails script/server       create File exists - script/server

That looks like the output from "rails script/server" not "ruby script/server"
