Need help with starting RoR: Command "rails server" does not result in "Booting WEBrick"?

Question

I need help to get started with RoR.

I currently follow this guideline: http://allaboutruby.wordpress.com/2009/07/20/installing-rails-on-windows-3-years-later/#comment-11099

I followed step 1 through 3 w/o problems.

In step 5: I can get the webserver through WEBrick working.

When i put "rails server" instead of getting "Booting Webrick", i get "rails new_path option"

thus when i try 127.0.0.1:3000 in the browser... it does work.

Can anyone guide me on this on how to get it up and runnning? (Im a total newb for now...so i need specific explanations! thanks!)

In your tutorial i can't see the command 'bundle install' - it's checking and installing all necessary gems in your system. So why you don't use another great rails tutorial - http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book
