CTRL+C to Webbrick server ignored

Question

In the past, I could exit my rails application launched using webbrick using CtrlC. At some point in development, this functionality broke ( CtrlC does nothing now). I'm lead to believe this was caused by changes in one of my gem dependencies, as the problem is also present when checking out a really old version of the application, using the current gemset.

My question is: how can I fix this problem, or at least find the out what is causing it?

Answer 1

For windows users, this was broken in more recent builds of rails (3.2+). Try using

ruby script\rails server

instead. More details here.
