Error when generating scaffold

Question

I use RVM with ruby 1.9.2 and Rails. When I try to generate a scaffold for my Rails app, I get this error:

<internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require': no such file to load -- script/../config/boot (LoadError)
from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:in `require'
from script/generate:2:in `<main>'

Is there something wrong with rubygems? RVM?

Make sure you are in the root of your rails application, not just wherever you happen to be when you open your terminal.

E.g. if you ran "rails new foo", that will create a directory called "foo" which contains all the files for your application. You need to be in the directory "foo" whenever you run a rails generator.
