Answer 1

For this problem,

What i did is:

• Delete the Pids folder which is located under app/tmp/

• and then, close the terminal which we are running the current app and close the tab (in, browser window)

• after that, again open the terminal by going inside the folder, and then do, rails s

• Then, it opens the fresh tab which is running our application
