Append the output of `rvm info` to your question. That tells us how your RVM/Ruby environment are configured. — the Tin Man, Feb 12 '14 at 14:55
have you updated your gem set for the new ruby version with `bundle install`? — Малъ Скрылевъ, Feb 12 '14 at 15:01

Looks like you have rails installed in global gemset. What you can do is:

Remove rails from global gemset.
Then install Rails in a separate gemset. But, as far as I know, Rails 2.3.18 is not compatible with Ruby 2.1.0.

Here's more or less accurate example of how to do it:

rvm use 2.1.0@global         # switching to global gemset
gem uninstall rails          # removing rails gem
rvm use 2.1.0@rails --create # creating a separate gemset for rails
gem install rails            # installing rails

In order to use RVM effectively, you need to consult [gemsets documentation].1

That's it!

Update. I believe you've installed RVM under sudo command. In order to fix this follow these steps:

rvm implode                             # remove RVM
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash    # install it again
rvm install 2.1.0                       # install Ruby 2.1.0
rvm use 2.1.0@rails --create --default  # create default gemset for Rails
gem install rails                       # install Rails itself

In order to avoid problems with permissions, I strongly suggest you not to use sudo during installation of gems.

gem unistall rails ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::CommandLineError) Unknown command unistall Unistall does not work for me – ntan Feb 12 '14 at 15:37
You've a typo. It's `uninstall`, but not `unistall`. – marvelousNinja Feb 12 '14 at 15:40
Sorry rvm use 2.1.0@rails --create gives me mkdir: /usr/local/rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.0@rails: Permission denied – ntan Feb 12 '14 at 15:45
Looks like you installed `rvm` under `sudo` command. I believe you need to reinstall it completely. I will update my answer. – marvelousNinja Feb 12 '14 at 16:24
i wiil procced without sudo and get back to you – ntan Feb 12 '14 at 16:43

Restart Terminal/Console
Go to your project location
Run rvm use ruby-2.1.0 --default

Now, it will show the current rvm by running rvm list

Then, all the installed rvm versions will be shown along with the currently selected one with a * symbol.
