# To stop a running Rails server, follow these steps:
# Step 1: Open a terminal or command prompt.
# Step 2: Navigate to your Rails application directory using the 'cd' command.
cd path_to_your_rails_app
# Step 3: Check if the Rails server is running by entering:
# ps aux | grep -i rails
# This command will display a list of running processes. Look for the Rails server process.
# Step 4: Once you've identified the Rails server process, note its PID (Process ID).
# Step 5: Terminate the Rails server process using the following command:
# kill -9 <PID>
# Replace <PID> with the actual Process ID you noted in the previous step.
kill -9 <PID>
