It should be:

rails server --daemon

# to kill the server
kill `cat tmp/pids/server.pid`

# to tail development logs for debugging
tail -f log/development.log

Please use long option/command names, when giving an advice – novices will appreciate it. – tomasbedrich Jan 12 '17 at 10:28
rails s -d is not working for me is there any other update? – Shiv Aggarwal Mar 30 '18 at 12:01
Is there anyway to re-attach if you need to debug the logs? – jahrichie Apr 03 '18 at 21:21
@jahrichie You can tail the log file `tail -f development.log` to debug the logs. – rubish Apr 04 '18 at 08:12

it's worth trying the following command

$ rails s -d

@JKABC 'rails s' is alternate shorthand for 'rails server.' They both do the same thing. – Dave Munger May 03 '14 at 00:31
