如何停止（并重新启动）Rails 服务器？

Question

I'm following the instructions here http://railsinstaller.org/mac to get up and running with Rails on a Mac running OS X 10.8.2

At step 8 I'm asked to restart Rails server but how?

I'm assuming via a command line, but from within the already open ruby terminal window or a new one?

Answer 1

Press Ctrl+C

When you start the server it mentions this in the startup text.

Answer 2

Now in rails 5 yu can do:

rails restart

This print by rails --tasks

Restart app by touching tmp/restart.txt

I think that is usefully if you run rails as a demon

Answer 3

On OSX, you can take advantage of the UNIX-like command line - here's what I keep handy in my .bashrc to enable me to more easily restart a server that's running in background (-d) mode (note that you have to be in the Rails root directory when running this):

alias restart_rails='kill -9 `cat tmp/pids/server.pid`; rails server -d'

My initial response to the comment by @zane about how the PID file isn't removed was that it might be behavior dependent on the Rails version or OS type. However, it's also possible that the shell runs the second command ( rails server -d ) sooner than the kill can actually cause the previous running instance to stop.

So alternatively, kill -9 cat tmp/pids/server.pid && rails server -d might be more robust; or you can specifically run the kill , wait for the tmp/pids folder to empty out, then restart your new server.

如果这种方法不起作用，则还有另一种方法在Windows中特别有效：从Windows命令行终止localhost：3000进程

Answer 5

I had to restart the rails application on the production so I looked for an another answer. I have found it below:

Answer 6

if you are not able to find the rails process to kill it might actually be not running. Delete the tmp folder and its sub-folders from where you are running the rails server and try again.

Answer 7

I just reboot the server with

Ctrl + c

That worked for me
