Answer 1

you are using older version of rails latest version of ruby is 3.2 if you execute this command in latest version

rails new sample -d mysql

then this will create sample directory in current directory so you can reach folder with

cd sample

but you don't need new keyword with older version of rails means you need to just execute following command

rails sample -d mysql

following command will create a new folder and then generate project name sample in new directory so you need cd new/sample for reach directory

rails new sample -d mysql

Answer 2

try it :-

1. cd /home/username   `(put your username )`

2. rails new sample -d mysql

Now to check if the folder for app is created or not.

3. ls -l

If the directory with name "sample" is shown then, locate in it

4. cd sample

if Directory does not exists then there can be a problem in ur installation of OS or Rails.

Answer 3

you are saying that your current directory is "/opt/lampp/htdocs". so if you run 'rails new myblog -d mysql' command, then it will generate a project directory structure with parent directory named myblog in your current directory like "/opt/lampp/htdocs/myblog".
