I used to deploy to Heroku but recently joined DO. I got up and running here with the help of Ryan Bates Railscast on deploying to a VPS, but there are some things he doesn’t cover.
I ran “rails console” in the directory of my app and it gave me a menu of options, such as ‘rails new’ but there was no option to run the rails console
3.Environment variables. I need to set Environment Variables for various services that require them (such as email services like Mandrill). How do I set them on DO
(See full trace by running task with --trace)

Assuming you’re on Rails 4, have you tried:
and so on?
The
rails
in your path may be different from the one used by your app;bin/rails
should get you the right one.Had the same problems. <br>It seems like unicorn is by default starting in development environment. <br>Just add -E production in the line UNICORN_OPTS=… in file : /etc/default/unicorn <br>So that it looks like : UNICORN_OPTS=“-D -c $CONFIG_RB -E production” <br>then : RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile <br>restart unicorn and it should work.
@m73mitchell did you ding any solution to this? <br> <br>I am facing the “database configuration does not specify adapter” error. <br> <br>
To run rake and rails console I had to specify production environment like this. For example, <br> <br> RAILS_ENV=production rake db:seed <br> <br>For environment variables, in bashrc <br> <br>export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 <br>
Actually once I cd into the correct folder and run ‘rails console’ or ‘rake db:seed’ I’m getting this error <br> <br> configuration does not specify adapter (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified) <br> <br>even though the application is actually otherwise working (and saving records). <br> <br>This is the full database.yml file <br> <br>production: <br> adapter: postgresql <br> encoding: unicode <br> database: dodeploy_production <br> pool: 5 <br> host: localhost <br> username: michael <br> password: secretpassword
Sorry, to provide more information, the directory structure is the following <br> <br>home/username/apps/nameofapp/ <br> <br>Inside ‘nameofapp’ there’s three folders ‘current’ ‘releases’ and ‘shared’. I think these were created by the deploy file that I borrowed from RBates. <br> <br>When I’m inside current and run “rails console” and “rake db:seed” (there is a rake file), I’m getting the same error <br> <br> <br>‘database configuration does not specify adapter’ <br> <br>However, inside my database yml file I have this <br> <br> <br>production: <br> adapter: postgresql <br> encoding: unicode <br> database: dodeploy_production <br> pool: 5
in home/username I created a new directory ‘app’ where the rails app is stored (and where I might store others), so now I have home/username/app. How do I set them in that /etc/profile file? <br> <br>Would I for example just do this at the bottom of the file? <br> <br>GMAIL_USERNAME=‘me@gmail.com’ <br> <br> <br>Do you have any idea about the other questions, how to seed data or run the rails console? running the console on a remote server is very handy, as it lets you alter and view production data etc
when you say you’re in your “app” directory what does it look like, what subfolders, to make sure it’s the right directory… <br>if you want to set environment variables I’d probably set them globally, like in /etc/profile file. HTH.
