Server is shutting down as soon as it launches

I tried to run the command to test the server installation but it does not work. I piped the output of the command to a text file. this is what the command output:

=> Booting WEBrick => Rails 4.1.5 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000 => Run rails server -h for more startup options => Notice: server is listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). Consider using 127.0.0.1 (--binding option) => Ctrl-C to shutdown server Exiting

Any ideas?

Thank you -Steve

It appears you already have a server instance running. You need to kill the process before you can start a new one (or you have something else using that port, in which case you need to kill that before you start it)

Easiest scenario is you quit out of the terminal entirely and it should kill the process. The longer solution is to find and kill the process manually.

I think it is a Microsoft service that is doing it - I have webdev installed. any clues as to what service i need to shut down? I cant find any kind if initd or IIS or anything like that.

Thank you, Best Regards, Stephen Bicker
