Aptana Studio: A server is already running error

Sometimes when I boot up my computer then open up Aptana Studio for Rails, then try to start my server, I get the following error...

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.11 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
A server is already running. Check C:/Users/bob/bob_rails_demo/Course_Stats/tmp/pids/server.pid.
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting

When I check that file metioned, I open the file and all it says inside the file is ...

512

Is there a fix for this? I don't see anything else running in task manager. BTW I am running rails 3.2.11 w/ Windows 7.

Solution

  • It is saying that PID (process id) 512 is running the server.

    Go to Start -> then type taskmgr.exe. Then, go to the processes tab and look for that process and kill it. It might be a bug that it does not close the server correctly on exit.
