`rails app_name` => Exec format error (Errno:ENOEXEC)

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m trying to run the ‘rails’ command from a ruby script. I’m able to
do something like svn this_and_that just fine, but I can’t seem to
execute the rails command using:

rails new_app

It keeps throwing an error:
Exec format error - rails new_app (Errno:ENOEXEC).

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Nelson

Ahh…found the answer. This is probably because I’m on a windows
machines, but you cannot execute rails app in a ruby script. You have
to write:

rails.cmd app

I use rails app all the time… I’m not sure why you see a problem :-S

anything with a .cmd executes perfectly fine without the .cmd
specified. So, rails.cmd is the same as typing as rails in Windows.
