Weird rails error "permission denied: bin/rails" for old rails apps
So what worked for me, anyone coming across this issue is to run
bundle exec rake app:update:bin
You'll be given a prompt asking if you want to overwrite? The options here are:
- Y - yes (default one, just press Enter for it)
- n - no (leave current file without changes)
- a - all (apply all changes)
- q - quit
- d - diff
- h - help
I chose a and it seemed to work ok.
I have this when I try to use a rails 4.0 version.
So when I try to put bundle exec first, like:
bundle exec rake db:migrate
or
bundle exec rails s
work's.
Run
bundle exec rake rails:update:bin
It will update bin/rails and bin/rake files.
In the directory you mentioned is your rails in executable mode. If not you can apply
chmod u+x bin/rails
and make it executable.
