Rails server Error:Address already in use

Hi,

For some reason I cannot get WEBrick to boot anymore. I installed and used Eclipse yesterday and all was working fine but today I m getting this:

 

$ ruby script/server
=> Booting WEBrick...
=> Rails application started on http://127.0.0.1:3000
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server; call with --help for options

Any help appreciated...

OK!
Problem Solved:

Linux solution:

In console do:

lsof|grep 3000

this will give you a line starting with:

 

ruby   6205   adam   4u  IPv4

take the number in second position (6205 in this case) and in console do:

kill -9 6205

(note -9 is separate from the pid)
Et Voila!
Problem solved, phantom connection is destroyed.

 

Now, let's go back to work.
