Rails thin stop using pid

I have a Rails Thin server running on my iMac. Normally, I ctl-c to stop it. But, my terminal windows got closed and now I'm trying to stop Thin.

I tried this:

$ thin stop

And got this:

no PID found in tmp/pids/thin.pid

But, the PID is tmp/pids/server.pid

I've tried this:

$ thin stop -C tmp/pids/server.pid

But, I get this:

undefined method `each' for 8395:Fixnum (NoMethodError)

Thanks for the help!

-C is the parameter for the config file, use -P (that is capital p) instead.

thin stop -P tmp/pids/server.pid

The thing is, when you start rails with thin as its webserver, e.g.:

rails server

it creates the file tmp/pids/server.pid, not the thin default tmp/pids/thin.pid, that is why you have to specify the correct pid file.

Just look for the current Thin pid:

cat tmp/pids/server.pid

It will give you the current pid like for instance 6458. Then just issue a:

kill -9 6458

Maybe try this: kill -9 thin_pid
