I am trying to deploy Rails app with the Puma web server. When trying to start Puma server with a config file bundle exec puma -C config/puma.rb I get an error

Answer 1

you can also try this trick:

ps aux | grep puma

sample output:

myname           77921   0.0  0.0  2433828   1972 s000  R+   11:17AM   0:00.00 grep puma
myname           67661   0.0  2.3  2680504 191204 s002  S+   11:00AM   0:18.38 puma 3.11.2 (tcp://localhost:3000) [my_proj]

then:

kill -9 67661
