I'm in the process of updating an app to use asset compilation.
I want to try running the server locally in production mode so I do
RAILS_ENV=production rails server
and it tries to start up in production mode:
=> Rails 3.1.8 application starting in production on http://0.0.0.0:3000
but aborts with
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Exiting
/home/durrantm/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194@linker/gems/activerecord-3.1.8/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:71:in `rescue in establish_connection':
Please install the pg adapter: `gem install activerecord-pg-adapter` (cannot load such file -- active_record/connection_adapters/pg_adapter) (RuntimeError)
as I have to use postgres in production for a Heroku deploy.
Locally I use mysql2 and I need to use the data there when running locally.
I thought I could just temporarily remove the pg
reference in the Gemfile
production group and use mysql
instead, i.e.
group :production
# gem "pg" # Used for Production for heroku.
gem 'mysql2'
end
and I did a bundle install but I still get the pg adapter error - even though I don't have it in my Gemfile and I've bundled. There's only 1 Gemfile.lock so I assume I don't need to do RAILS_ENV=production bundle
, though of course I tried it - it didn't help.
My Gemfile lists mysql2 as a dependency and not pg
How can I get the server running locally in production mode against my mysql database ?
Have you changed the production node in your database.yml
to use mysql2 adapter?
production:
adapter: mysql2
database: your_database
host: 127.0.0.1
