Upgrading problems, 2.3.5 -> 2.3.8

Rails

Ever since I updated rails to 2.3.8, script/server exits right after it
starts.
Here’s the output

=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

I think the problem is with bind, but I have no idea what to do with it.
Thanks in advance

It means exactly what it says: you have another process, probably
a previous instance of webrick, already running on the port that your
new instance is trying to bind to.

Find it and kill it.

man netstat might be of help if you have trouble figuring out which
process id is responsible.
