How to run "rails s"

I have a problem running rails s in Ubuntu. When I type rails s it doesn't start the server, but instead it outputs:

kyala@ubuntu:~/depot$ rails s

Usage:
  rails new APP_PATH [options]

Options:
  
-r, [--ruby=PATH]           # Path to the Ruby binary of your choice
                              # Default: /home/kyala/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p290/bin/ruby
  
-d, [--database=DATABASE]   # Preconfigure for selected database (options: mysql/oracle/postgresql/sqlite3/frontbase/ibm_db)enter code here
                              # Default: sqlite3
 
 -b, [--builder=BUILDER]     # Path to an application builder (can be a filesystem path or URL)
  
-m, [--template=TEMPLATE]   # Path to an application template (can be a filesystem path or URL)
      [--dev]                 # Setup the application with Gemfile pointing to your Rails 

checkout
      [--edge]                # Setup the application with Gemfile pointing to Rails 

repository
      
[--skip-gemfile]        # Don't create a Gemfile
 
 -O, [--skip-active-record]  # Skip Active Record files
 
 -T, [--skip-test-unit]      # Skip Test::Unit files
 
 -J, [--skip-prototype]      # Skip Prototype files
 
 -G, [--skip-git]            # Skip Git ignores and keeps


Runtime options:
 
-f, [--force]    # Overwrite files that already exist
  
-p, [--pretend]  # Run but do not make any changes
 
 -q, [--quiet]    # Supress status output
 
 -s, [--skip]     # Skip files that already exist


Rails options:
 
 -v, [--version]  # Show Rails version number and quit

  -h, [--help]     # Show this help message and quit


Description:
  
  The 'rails new' command creates a new Rails application with a default
   
 directory structure and configuration at the path you specify.

Example:
  
  rails new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog

   
 This generates a skeletal Rails installation in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
    
See the README in the newly created application to get going.

We had the same problem.

Be sure you run the 'rails' command in the script folder and not the binary 'rails' that is different

script/rails s

It´s the same that if you go to your script folder and run the command:

cd script
./rails s
