I had created a demo web application by executing rails tickets and then
i executed rails script/server to run it on localhost.

Initially i was able to execute the application in the browser by typing
localhost:3000 in the address bar, but then I deleted the folder tickets
from my hard disk.

Now again i created the same folder but when i try to run it using the
same command rails script/server it says that

File exists - script/server

I tried deleting the script/server file but i still couldn't run the
localhost:3000 in the browser

What is the solution to this

Your old one was rails 2.x I guess, but your new one is 3 or above. The new command for starting the server is 'rails s'

you should've not deleted the script/server file.  you're using rails 2 so the proper way to start
the server is ruby script/server not rails script/server.  the shorcut to this is just script/server.

I think you just created a new app inside the "s" folder.

Please paste the output of "ruby script/server" command

That looks like the output from "rails script/server" not "ruby script/server"
