Answer 1

When the rails server does not start it means that it is already running then you can start by using new port eg.

rails s -p 3001

or it starts and stops in that case you want to delete temp folder in rails directory structure it starts the rails server.

Answer 2

1. Just open the file using the location given sudo vi /Users/user1/go/src/github.com/rails_app/rails_project/tmp/pids/server.pid

2. find the process_id / thread_id at which the process is runnning.

3. Kill the specified process / thread using kill -9 84699

Answer 3

I have noticed on Windows (Im using 10 but not sure if the same for oler). If you use cmd.exe and ctrl + c the raisl server stops correctly.

However, if you use Git Bash, it doesn't. It says it has but when you look at the tmp pids, its still there.

Maybe a bug with git bash?

Answer 4

You can use other ports like the following:

rails server -p 3001

Normally in your terminal you can try Ctrl + C to shutdown the server.

The other way to kill the Ruby on Rails default server (which is WEBrick) is:

kill -INT $(cat tmp/pids/server.pid)

In your terminal to find out the PID of the process:

$ lsof -wni tcp:3000

Then, use the number in the PID column to kill the process:

For example:

$ kill -9 PID

And some of the other answers i found is:

To stop the rails server while it's running, press:

CTRL-C
CTRL-Z

You will get control back to bash. Then type (without the $):

$ fg

And this will go back into the process, and then quit out of Rails s properly.

It's a little annoying, but this sure beats killing the process manually. It's not too bad and it's the best I could figure out.

Updated answer:

You can use killall -9 rails to kill all running apps with "rails" in the name.

killall -9 rails

Answer 5

Press Ctrl - C it will stop
if not check

Answer 6

Ctrl-Z should normally do the trick.
