Possible errors and solutions
To see the running rubby sessions
lsof|grep 3000
This will give you a line starting with.
ruby 6205 admin 4u IPv4
If you need destroy the session
kill -9 6205
If you see followwing error
** !!! PID file /var/log/mongrel/mongrel-1.pid already exists. Mongrel could be running already. Check your /var/log/mongrel/mongrel.log for errors.
** !!! Exiting with error. You must stop mongrel and clear the .pid before I'll attempt a start.
Use following command or destroy session using above step.
rm /var/log/mongrel/mongrel-1.pid
rm /var/log/mongrel/mongrel.log
