Question

I am doing Michael Hartl’s Ruby and Rails Tutorial and am just getting started on my first app. I Typed $ rails server into the command line and got the following output:

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.2.8 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2012-10-30 20:56:51] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1
[2012-10-30 20:56:51] INFO  ruby 1.9.3 (2012-10-12) [x86_64-darwin12.2.0]
[2012-10-30 20:56:51] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=2205 port=3000


Started GET "/assets/rails.png" for 127.0.0.1 at 2012-10-30 20:57:56 -0400
Connecting to database specified by database.yml
Served asset /rails.png - 200 OK (3ms)

It looks like this is still running and is stuck. The next step in the tutorial asks to add the new rails project to Git (after you’ve set up Git) via $ git add. Should I do this in a new terminal window while the $ rails server still runs?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yup, that will appear “stuck” while the server is running. You’ll need to do any further commands in a new window. This is necessary for your app to display.
