can't stop or restart the thin gem on ubuntu 10.04

Question

I get the below error whenever I try to stop or restart the thin gem on Ubuntu 10.04. Any fix for this?

Can't stop process, no PID found in tmp/pids/thin.pid

Answer 1

pgrep 'thin';

echo <pid> > /tmp/pids/thin.pid

Essentially the problem is your PID file is empty for whatever reason. So use pgrep/ps to find the PID, and stick it in the PID file.
