I’m going thru a tutorial, Agile Web D. with Rails (v3)…
I’m having an issue on my mac with the web server not quitting
properly, mongrel / webrick process not shutting down properly in dev
env. after ^C in terminal window. On subsequent attempts to restart
the web server after quit… ruby script/server webrick
I also notice that when I update a file in the app folder I have to
restart the app on another port.
I get an error…
=> Booting WEBrick…
=> Rails 2.1.1 application started on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options
