Hello group,
I’m just trying to learn RubyOnRails and I bought a book that uses a
bookstore as an example.
I downloaded and installed InstantRails for my XP machine and I think
all went well, I just ran the ran the rails bookstore command and it
generated a long list of new files and directories.
I changed to the bookstore directory and then tried to run the
script/generate controller about index
command to start creating the skeleton files and I now get an error
message saying that
“script is not recognized as an internal or external command”
Can anyone help me out on this?
Did I not get the InstantRails application installed correctly?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
James

Seems to me your missing the “ruby” command in front of this.
The generate script is in the directory script of your rails application
directory. It’s a ruby script.
Try to go to your application directory and look at the script directory
: you will find the generate.rd file. Then at the root of your
application type :
Tony,
Thanks, that worked!
I checked the rest of the book and the book “Begining Ruby Ob Rails”
omits Ruby from every command in the entire book. I wonder if it was
written for a different system, and I have to make adjustments for
Windows.
Anyway thanks for the help.
