I came across this a few years ago and it took me ages to figure out. I thought the Ruby core had fixed the issue but maybe it still persists in some places.
My solution was to ensure the path to the app, including the app name, were all lowercase. That fixed it for me.
I'll see if I can find the Github thread on the same subject ... I'll post it if I do. I'm sure this is the same issue; my recollection may be incorrect.
I'll be back with more info ...
Steve.

Let me know how you get on.

411 Pointsso, when we create a new app, i should write rails new app_new ?
what if i want to create a scaffold, should i put rails generate scaffold Post title:string or the 'Post' in lowercase?
ok ill show what i did:
rails new app_new
cd app_new
rails generate scaffold Post title:string
rails db:migrate
rails server
and told me that...
do you know what is the issue?
