Im a new user - I just installed rails, following directions here: http://rubyonrails.org/download however, when it came time to make a rails new path/etc/etc I get this message: Can''t initialize a new Rails application within the directory of another, please change to a non-Rails directory first. The only complication during the download was that I had to upgrade from version 1.8.6 to 1.9.3, which I did after installing rails. Otherwise Ive done nothing but follow the very simple directions. I found this very helpful thread http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/1780147 but when the output of ls -l shows just my usual directories. Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

What is the command you are using to create a new rails app? Just to be sure, type the command into a terminal window and copy / paste the command you typed and the output from rails.

There are (at least) two executable ruby scripts named "rails". The first is found in your typical search path and should be the one that gets called when you type "rails new my_app". The second is found, after creating your new application "my_app", in the directory "my_app/script" (rails version 3) or "my_app/bin" (rails version 4). These ruby scripts named "rails" are not the same and, if you call the second with the "new my_app" arguments, "rails" will assume you are running inside an existing application and hurl error chunks at you.

Hi Rick,
thanks! I tried carrying out those instructions: heres what i got -
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ which rails
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ which
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
/home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
I suppose im having trouble with step 2 of your directions. However its
nice to have a kind of explanation of whats going on. Again, excuse my
illiteracy on this, but it look like maybe i do have rails installed in
my home directory?
**just discovered by accident I can do this:
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ which
/home/mwr/.rvm.gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails
mwr@mwr-Ubuntu:/home$ wc -l ''which rails''

i now see i misstyped the instructions to step 2. here it is, corrected 2) type the command "wc -l `which rails`" -- if you can''t figure out the quoting just use the result of step 1. i.e. on my system "wc -l /opt/local/bin/rails" the idea is to use the wc command to get the number of lined in the rails script you are calling by default. the quoting used in *wc -l `which rails` * an open single quote - on a mac keyboard it''s found on the key to the left of number one. it''s a bit of unix shell magic that causes the quoted text to be evalulated as a command and the results to be handed off the the *wc -l* command as argument(s). thus, on my system, it becomes *wc -l /opt/local/bin/rails*. in your case *wc -l `which rails` *would be equivalent to *wc -l /home/mwr/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p429/bin/rails* and i''ll be surprised if the result is much greater than 6. i don''t use rvm so cannot help you troubleshoot rvm specific errors. i can say that you don''t want to be creating your new app anywhere inside the *.../.rvm/...* directory tree. think of this as a managed software repository - anything that gets changed there is done through rvm. make yourself a working directory, cd there and run the *rails new* command. something like: * mkdir /home/mwr/RailsApps* *cd /home/mwr/RailsApps rails new my_new_app * On Friday, May 31, 2013 11:28:19 PM UTC-4, Ruby-Forum.com User wrote:> > Hi Rick, > thanks!

Re: Re: accidentally created a rails app in the home folder
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.

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 suggest starting again using rvm to install rails. You don''t actually need to get rid of anything you have already installed but it will do no harm to do so.
