Rails: end of file reached

Question

Working in my Rails development environment, everything peachy, then went away to lunch and now I get "end of file reached" error in browser. Anyone know what's going on?

Here's same response from curl:

$ curl http://localhost:7000

Answer 1

If everything was working fine and you didn't make any changes, this could be due to a corrupted tmp cache or Spring being in a bad state. I would try the following from your app's root directory:

1. Stop Spring: spring stop
2. Stop your Rails server by pressing ctrl-c on your keyboard
3. Clear out your tmp cache by running bin/rake tmp:clear
4. Quit and relaunch your Terminal application to make sure nothing is running
5. Start Rails again with rails s and try accessing it at http://localhost:3000
