Question

I just removed my database.yml because I’m trying to use Mongoid, and now I’m getting the following:

$ rails server           
=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 3.0.9 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Call with -d to detach
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting

Any ideas?

Answer 1

In config/application.rb, remove the line require 'rails/all' and replace with:

require "rails"

%w(
  action_controller
  action_mailer
  active_resource
  rails/test_unit
).each do |framework|
  begin
    require "#{framework}/railtie"
  rescue LoadError
  end
end

(This is the contents of rails/all.rb in the railties gem, but with the activerecord line removed).
