Error messages: relative paths seem weakly handled?

I create my rails app, with modifications to the default from a script.
Having had to upgrade rails once, and knowing that this is likely to
happen again because of the rapid updating of rails, it seems the
most sensible way to do it.  As a result, I often do

/bin/rm -rf csestore

and then run my script from another window to repopulate it.
So naturally, to save having to cd into csestore, and back out again
afterwards I invoked webrick with 

csestore/script/server

I got the following huge list of errors as a result:

Well, this message is wrong, because routes.rb does exist, on the
path which it claims it does not, but that should not make any
difference no matter from where I invoke the server.  The paths
should be sorted out in there somewhere.

It works correctly if I do 

(cd csestore ; script/server )
i.e. invoke a subshell instead.

So: where do I report this as a bug if not here?  I can see nothing
on 

http://www.rubyonrails.com/
http://documentation.rubyonrails.com/
http://weblog.rubyonrails.com/

about reporting bugs, and 

http://bugs.rubyonrails.com/

just takes me back to 

http://www.rubyonrails.com/


        Thank you,
        Hugh

The server script is designed to be invoked in RAILS_ROOT.  If you are
somewhere else, then Rails will think that's your RAILS_ROOT, and
obviously, it will not find it's stuff.

You are right though in saying that RAILS_ROOT could be deduced from
the main program that invoked Rails.  To report bugs and enhancements,
go to http://dev.rubyonrails.com/, which is the "Source" link on the
main Ruby on Rails home page.  Not very obvious, I agree.

Bye !

It IS deduced from it, and it gets it right!
