I am new to coding and rails. When I try running rails server I get the segmentation fault. This was not an issue yesterday. I am not sure what went wrong. I tried reinstalling Ruby 2.2.1 and updating to 2.2.3 to no avail. Below is the report.

Abort trap: 6

Very strange.
The segmentation fault itself is due to a usual rvm bug, mixing an extension library for different ruby
but 2.2.3 should raise a fatal error instead of segmentation fault.
Is the log with 2.2.3 same?

Thanks for the feedback.

I am still riding version 2.2.1. I have been unable to install the 2.2.3 update. Per the 2.2.3 install instructions on https://rvm.io/rvm/security ( # install mpapis public key ) I used the command line:
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 409B6B1796C275462A1703113804BB82D39DC0E3

It returned the error:
-bash: gpg: command not found

That failed so I tried command line:
curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -

per the instructions. The error below was returned:
-bash: gpg: command not found
(23) Failed writing body
.
I started my journey into programming just a few days ago. This is uncharted territory. How do I resolve the rvm bug for 2.2.1 or should updating to 2.2.3 take priority? Your help is very much appreciated.

Could you give 2.2.3 a try, just to have it easier for nobu to see if the error is different (or perhaps gone)?

You need to install gpg, probably by homebrew or MacPorts.
OSX does not provide gpg (or pgp) by default.

Or, you can install ruby from the source tarball:

curl -O https://cache.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/2.2/ruby-2.2.3.tar.bz2 &&
tar xpf ruby-2.2.3.tar.bz2 && cd ruby-2.2.3 &&
./configure --prefix=/ --enable-shared --enable-load-relative --disable-install-doc &&
make all install DESTDIR="$HOME/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.2.3"

and then rvm list will show ruby-2.2.3.
