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

A simpler way in which I found lesser commands . Go to the path which says a server is running in your folder structure . Search for the file. On the file itself shows a number which is the process id that is currently running. Lets say if the number is 'x', then simply type this command into your terminal

kill -9 x

However, note that this works in Ubuntu. Not sure, if it works in other OS as well.

Answer 2

I just had this problem, just deleted server.pid file and server works fine!
