if you are not able to find the rails process to kill it might actually be not running  Delete the tmp folder and its sub-folders from where you are running the rails server and try again

On OSX  you can take advantage of the UNIX-like command line - here s what I keep handy in my  bashrc to enable me to more easily restart a server that s running in background  -d  mode  note that you have to be in the Rails root directory when running this    alias restart rails  kill -9  cat tmp pids server pid   rails server -d    My initial response to the comment by  zane about how the PID file isn t removed was that it might be behavior dependent on the Rails version or OS type  However  it s also possible that the shell runs the second command  rails server -d  sooner than the kill can actually cause the previous running instance to stop   So alternatively  kill -9 cat tmp pids server pid  amp  amp  rails server -d might be more robust  or you can specifically run the kill  wait for the tmp pids folder to empty out  then restart your new server
