rails s not working

Question

My rails command suddenly stopped working

I am just typing command

rails s

and getting error

bash: /usr/local/bin/rails: /usr/bin/ruby1.9.1: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

and command

  ruby -v   gives me

ruby 1.9.1p431 (2011-02-18 revision 30908) [i686-linux]

any help?

thanks in advance

Ruby 1.9.1 is not a supported version of Ruby. Upgrade to 1.9.2, or better yet, 1.9.3. — sevenseacat, Jan 19 '13 at 11:03
@sevenseacat I have installed both 1.9.3-p374 now i am getting error ruby -v bash: /home/abc/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.3-p374/bin/ruby: cannot execute binary file — shail85, Jan 19 '13 at 11:17

Please take care of your PATH variable, I had to remove also all ruby and rvm entries from .bashrc, .profile and .bash_profile. Maybe somewhere there your old ruby is specified.

Additionally: On my MACOSX_10.6.8 I just had problems updating ruby-1.9.3p125 to the newest version. So I did everything from scratch and removed (rvm remove 1.9.3p125) and also did rvm implode to remove the ~/.rvm directory completely.

Check How can I remove RVM (Ruby Version Manager) from my system?

Later on:

curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm install 1.9.3

After doing that, everything worked just fine!
