I have setup Guard and Guar-Livereload on my new Rails project similarly on how I had on a previous one: Gemfile:

group :development do
    gem 'spork-rails', '4.0.0'
    gem 'guard-spork', '1.5.0'
    gem 'childprocess'
    gem "rspec-rails"
    gem 'guard-livereload', require: false
    gem 'spring'
    gem "guard-rspec"
end

And in my Guardfile:

guard 'livereload' do
  watch(%r{app/views/.+\.(erb|haml|slim)$})
  watch(%r{app/helpers/.+\.rb})
  watch(%r{app/assets/.+\.rb})
  watch(%r{app/assets/.+\.(css|js|scss|jpg|png)})
  watch(%r{public/.+\.(css|js|html)})
  watch(%r{config/locales/.+\.yml})
  # Rails Assets Pipeline
  watch(%r{(app|vendor)(/assets/\w+/(.+\.(css|js|html|png|jpg))).*}) { |m| "/assets/#{m[3]}" }
end

Which was created after issuing the command guard init guard-livereload. When I issue guard I can see the following messages:

18:35:41 - INFO - Guard is using TerminalTitle to send notifications.
18:35:43 - INFO - Guard::RSpec is running
18:35:43 - INFO - LiveReload is waiting for a browser to connect.
18:35:43 - INFO - Guard is now watching at             '/Volumes/volume/Users/myuser/Documents/RubyApps/myapp'
[1] guard(main)>

But the server doesn't start, however if I rails s the server will start and visible on the front end. This leads me to believe the issue is with Guard. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

EDIT Added console after running guard -d:

look at @ec2's recent comment on this:

for livereload, run guard with the '-d' option (bundle exec guard -d) and you should see Hook :run_on_modifications_begin executed for Guard::LiveReload. Let us know if you get that message or not (next step depends on the answer). And of course, make sure livereload is actually turned on in your browser (I have to enable it every time I start the project) - ideally, just open a static html file in the browser, edit that file and check - it should work.
