By default Grunt starts up the server just for testing (or any other task asked..) and as soon as it's done it exits....

But fortunately I found a solution which by adding this to your grunt.js file will let you (optionally) halt the server from exiting.

grunt.registerTask('wait', 'Wait for a set amount of time.', function(delay) {
   var d = delay ? delay + ' second' + (delay === '1' ? '' : 's') : 'forever';
   grunt.log.write('Waiting ' + d + '...');
   // Make this task asynchronous. Grunt will not continue processing
   // subsequent tasks until done() is called.
   var done = this.async();
  // If a delay was specified, call done() after that many seconds.
   if (delay) { setTimeout(done, delay * 1000); }
});

Then in your command line call it: grunt server wait then you should be able to see it in the browser..

Make sure you add it inside module.exports = function(grunt){...}
