`rails s -e production` loads development database not production

[Jiajia Wang]

I'm running into a very weird rails server problem.

I started a rails application in production mode with `rails s -e
produciton` and got some db errors when visiting the site.

Then I realised that it loaded development database not production
database.

To confirm that, I removed development db config from database.yml.

Then I got
$ bundle exec rails s -e production
Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest
=> Booting Thin
=> Rails 4.1.6 application starting in production on http://0.0.0.0:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Notice: server is listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). Consider
using 127.0.0.1 (--binding option)
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
Digest::Digest is deprecated; use Digest
Exiting
/home/ubuntu/.rbenv/versions/2.1.4/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/gems/activerecord-4.1.6/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/connection_specification.rb:257:in
`resolve_symbol_connection': 'development' database is not configured.
Available: ["production", "test"] (ActiveRecord::AdapterNotSpecified)

What happened here?

I don't immediately see why it would be relevant but I would sort the
above problem first. It likely means you are using an out of date
gem. My principle after decades of tracking down software issues is
always to sort problems that should be easily sortable before worrying
about more esoteric problems.

Have you tried with

$ RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rails s

instead? Does this yield different results?

Did you cut-n-paste that command?
Because you have misspelt produciton (swapped i and t)

Yes, I tried.

It gave the same result.

That's a typo.

Figured out what the problem was.

Found this line in initializers/session_store.rb
ActiveRecord::SessionStore::Session.establish_connection(:development)

Removing it and changing session store to use :cookie_store solved the
problem.
