Cant create project from cmd

Rails
1

I’m following instructions in a book and it says to enter the following:
rails -d mysql chapter3

This is supposed to create the skeleton of a new rails app with correct
rails app directory structure but it doesn’t create the directory like
it’s supposed to. In cmd I get a whole list of information but nothing
is created.

Any suggestions?
Thanks…

Are you using Rails 3 with a book aimed at Rails 2, by any chance?

If so, don’t. Find a Rails 3 tutorial.

Try rails new -d mysql chapter3

If you are using rails 2.x version then your command should be: rails
new
Project_Name -d mysql

and if it’s rails 3 then type rails Project_Name -d mysql

*here chapter3 should come before -d mysql. otherwise you will get
this
error : “Options should be given after the application name. For details
run: rails --help”

Another thing is that I think you are trying to learn Rails 3 from a
Rails 2
version book. If so please do not follow that book and get a Rails 3
tutorial or install Rails version mentioned in that book. So, further
you
wouldn’t get trapped in such situations. Cause there are many commands
deprecated in Rails 3.
