after running "rails server" on my mac to start my application, my terminal does not allow me to write commands in the terminal. All I get is the following, with the problem that I can not write any commands.

Can anyone help?
You can start your server in a background:
rails server &
But, usually, this problem can be resolving by starting an additional terminal process (open new terminal window or tab). In this case, you'll be able to see server logs in runtime.

I'm relatively new the coding world so apologies upfront if this is vague or i'm mis using some jargon...
I am trying to create a new application using Ruby on Rails. Having created the app, I went to run it on my local machine by typing rails server but it seems as though the server won't complete..any thoughts? I only get as far as the below and then nothing else materialises to indicate the server has successfully completed... I've tried shutting down the server and trying again but no luck
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.3 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server

I am using Vagrant to start a Rails app, everything seems right but then, when I create a test app, run rails s and go to localhost:3000 I get a ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE and nothing is loaded. I get the following output when running rails s:
vagrant#rails-dev-box:~/projects/NewAppName$ rails s

I already ran rake db:create && rake db:migrate, and created a controller for the root. Anyone has an idea of what can be happening? Thank you.
It's in localhost on vagrant, so you can't connect it.
Try rails s -b 0.0.0.0 and then connect to vagrant IP(192.168.50.4:3000, for example).
It is very strange. I even tried a brand new project:
rails new abc
cd abc
rails s
The output is:
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.1.1 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Notice: server is listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). Consider using 127.0.0.1 (--binding option)

It doesn't break anything, but it makes reading output to debug very difficult.
It happens for all usage of rails and rake, in or out of bundle exec, but not bundle commands like bundle list or bundle install
Strangest thing... but it went away when I updated from rails 4.1.1 to rails 4.2.1
My terminal does not return to the usual command line prompt $ after I run rails server. If I open another Bash window everything works fine.
Should I just exit the first window, or will I interrupt some process?
Thanks for the advice!
If you run rails server or rails s, you wouldn't get that prompt. You need to press Ctrl-C to shutdown the server. That instruction is present is command shell itself (=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server).
(arup~>sample_app)$ rails s

Now see below, what happened when I did press Ctrl-C :

Yes when you use rails server or rails s the WEBrick server starts and keeps running it in the terminal tab you ran it on(till you interrupt it).
In Terminal Ctrl + C is used to kill/break/interrupt any process only
$ not showing means there is a process already running in that terminal and therefore you have to open a new terminal tab(Ctrl + Shift + T) and work there or break the existing ongoing process to get the $ and work in the present tab.

In other words you ideally can't or actually shouldn't use the terminal in which the server is running on, but anyways if you DO want to then this SO thread should help you
How to use same terminal window after using "rails server" command?
Hope you understood
use:
rails server -d
to start the server as daemon.
