Hi, don't worry, there's no dummy questions, everyone had to start somewhere.
On UNIX based systems (MacOS or Linux) just press CTRL+C, and the server will stop. Later it can be a good idea to install Thin, because it starts faster, you do not have to wait when you rebooting server. Then just run "ruby script/server -thin" (if I remember well). Good idea, to run the server in a console, and work in another one, it's just a trick, not essential. good luck, gezope On okt. 7, 22:22, Murph2m <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi > > I am following the Ruby on Rails Tutorial: Learn Rails by Example > > I am on chapter 2 creating the demo app using scaffolding and have > generated the user scaffold, migrated the database using Rake and then > run the local webserver using 'rails s' > > This has all worked great and I now need to generate the next bit of > scaffolding but I don't know how to get back to the command prompt > after using 'rails s' .
