ROR + A server is already running. Check …/tmp/pids/server.pid. Exiting

Question

In my Rails Project, I am trying to run two different servers at different port. But it fails by giving this error at console.

C:\\Rails>rails s
=> Boo         


        

Answer 1

Step 1: remove .pid

C:/Rails/tmp/pids/server.pid.Exiting

# IN linux/unix shell
$ rm -rf 

Sometime this doesn't solve the problem, then you have to kill the process running by localhost, for such cases, follow STEP 2

STEP 2: List the process for localhost and kill it

# For Linux/Unix shell

$ lsof -wni tcp:3000

# output
COMMAND  PID  USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
ruby    5946 rails   11u  IPv4  79073      0t0  TCP *:3000 (LISTEN)
ruby    5946 rails   12u  IPv4 103786      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:3000->127.0.0.1:53612 (ESTABLISHED)

# Kill the running process
$ kill -9 5946

run your server again

rails server
