To run the Rails server, I use $rails server. It says 'To stop, click Ctrl+c'. I use Putty.

The questions are:

  1. Should I keep the terminal open always? Because if the server stops, my web page wouldn't work. With Apache I just used commands apachectl start/stop.

  2. What if I want to use a command? Should I stop the server, use command, and run again? Because in the same terminal I can't do enything if the server run.

you can run it in background by writing

daemonize true

in your puma.rb file

To stop you need to find your running puma process

 ps aux | grep puma

then you need to kill the main process

 sudo kill -9 your process id

to start you need to type 

 puma -C config/puma.rb
