Answer 2

Posted elsewhere on Stackoverflow was the mention that if you have problems with rails 3.2.11, try locking rack at 1.4.1. This seems to work so far. I added:

gem 'rack' , '1.4.1'

to the gemfile, and then executed

bundle update rack

Answer 3

Both commands are checking the default PID file location (tmp/pids/server.pid), so you're seeing this error. Try running multiple servers like so:

Server 1: bundle exec rails s

Server 2: bundle exec rails s -p 3001 -P tmp/pids/server2.pid
