Ruby on Rails on Windows XP CTRL+C in console not stopping mongrel
Ctrl+Pause/Break force closes the server. It's not normal. Anyways my Dell notebook does not have the key.
So use this:
instead of rails s use ruby script/rails s.
Ctrl+C will work perfectly with that. Tested it.
It's a known issue and here is the patch:https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2088-mongrel-not-being-stopped-with-ctrl-c-under-windows
