Hi everyone,

On the new VM box after migration, rails console is started in development mode while I have STAGING set to 0 in general.yml.

This is what I get when starting console (Alaveteli v0.30.0.0, Ubuntu 14.04):

$ bundle exec rails console

Warning: You're using Rubygems 1.8.23 with Spring. Upgrade to at least Rubygems 2.1.0 and run `gem pristine --all` for better startup performance.

Running via Spring preloader in process 23438

Loading development environment (Rails 4.2.9)

irb: warn: can't alias context from irb_context.

Any ideas how to fix it and force this to run always in production mode? Same as with all other bundle and RoR items.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Miroslav

Update:

When I add RAILS_ENV=production I get following error:

$ bundle exec rails console RAILS_ENV=production

Warning: You're using Rubygems 1.8.23 with Spring. Upgrade to at least Rubygems 2.1.0 and run `gem pristine --all` for better startup performance.

config.eager_load is set to nil. Please update your config/environments/*.rb files accordingly:

* development - set it to false

* test - set it to false (unless you use a tool that preloads your test environment)

* production - set it to true

One of the deployment tasks is to copy a file to `APP_ROOT/config/rails_env.rb` [1], which is designed to always force the app in to production mode.

You need to add this file to the shared directory that Capistrano creates.

Not sure why it wasn't created, but you can create it easily enough [2]:

echo "ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'" > rails_env.rb

It looks like the production database isn't set up?

/home/alaveteli/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/activerecord-4.2.9/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/connection_specification.rb:248:in

`resolve_symbol_connection': 'RAILS_ENV=production' database is not configured. Available: ["default", "development", "test", "production"]

(ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

I think add the `rails_env.rb` file and get that working first and see where you get to with that.

Hi Gareth,

Thank you! I didn't have file file rails_env.rb (I also didn't see it on my old server), so I have done as you wrote. (and restarted alaveteli afterwards) But still console is opened in a development mode:

alaveteli@ImamoPravoZnati-v2:~/alaveteli$ bundle exec rails console

Warning: You're using Rubygems 1.8.23 with Spring. Upgrade to at least Rubygems 2.1.0 and run `gem pristine --all` for better startup performance.

irb: warn: can't alias context from irb_context.

irb(main):001:0>

I'm getting this error regarding Rubygems version. I'm also getting this error for all cronjobs via email:

I was hoping to see this message gone after switching to Production env.

Thing is that I didin't run any scripts/migrations after we migrated alaveteli to new server.

Would it hurt now to run "rake db:migrate"? Or even "script/rails-post-deploy"?

What we did:

- installed via install script alaveteli v0.30.0.0 (https://alaveteli.org/docs/installing/script/)

- confirmed that new install is working fine on new server

- transferred directories (files, cache, logs)

- transferred pg dump and restored db

- transferred general.yml and database.yml

- enabled READ ONLY mode on the app

- started the app

So I assumed it should work with all these steps.

admin/debug says all is good:

Version numbers
Alaveteli version: 0.30.0.0
Alaveteli branch: release/0.30.0.0
Alaveteli commit: ce785e903962c75f369b0c18c4d0fefc1f327972
RUBY_VERSION 1.9.3
Rails::VERSION::STRING 4.2.9
Xapian::version_string 1.2.21

Configuration
Rails env: production
Rails root: /var/www/imamopravoznati.org/alaveteli

Issues we had right after migration:

- public bodies list was there on new web (OK)

- but requests were not visible on web (NOK), but visible on admin interface

-> I fixed it by running Xapian reindex

- now I have issue that new emails piped to alaveteli are not visible on alaveteli (maybe the reason is development/production mode? or does READ ONLY mode blocks receiving of new emails piped to alaveteli via postfix?)

So how to switch alaveteli from current development mode to production mode? I thought STAGING parameter in general.yml should do it.

p.s. I didn't managed to get Capistrano fully running, on each deploy I had tons of errors, so I decided to go with normal install on new server and to deal with capistrano later.

Thank you!

Cheers,

Miroslav

Hi Gareth,

So, I did this:

$ sudo -u alaveteli RAILS_ENV=production \

> /var/www/imamopravoznati.org/alaveteli/script/rails-post-deploy

And it seems to resolved issue with starting console correctly in production mode:

$ sudo -u alaveteli bundle exec rails console

Loading production environment (Rails 4.2.9)
