error message when starting rails console in with environment as production

Question

I am running the command "rails s -e=production" and get the following error: connection_specification.rb:47:in `resolve_hash_connection': database configuration does not specify adapter (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

Contents of my config/database.yml:

development:
  adapter: sqlserver
  host: ***.***.***.***
  database: gmi_******
  username: **
  password: **

test:
  adapter: sqlite3
  database: db/test.sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

production:
  adapter: sqlserver
  host: ***.***.***.***
  database: gmi_******
  username: **
  password: **

I have looked at all the other questions on this and the one issue was that he did not have a space between adapter like this "adapter:sqlserver" and the other one he had custom names for the servers like "Listing_production" but didn't account for it. This works fine in development but wont work in production. Please help!

Answer 1

I think the -e= is confusing Rails. Try this instead: rails s -e production
