rails environment mongoid connection issue

Question

I have rails app 3.2.17, deployed in staging environment with unicorn 4.6.3 monitored by bluepill 0.0.66 using mongid 3.1.5

When I deploy for staging environment all works find including active_record except mongoid queries with result with following error:

Error during failsafe response: 
Problem:
  No configuration could be found for a session named 'default'.
Summary:
  When attempting to create the new session, Mongoid could not find a session configuration for the name: 'default'. This is necessary in order to know the host, port, and options needed to connect.
Resolution:
  Double check your mongoid.yml to make sure under the sessions key that a configuration exists for 'default'. If you have set the configuration programatically, ensure that 'default' exists in the configuration hash.

        process.monitor_children do |child_process|
            child_process.stop_command 'kill -QUIT {{PID}}'
            child_process.checks(:mem_usage,
                :every => 30.seconds,
                :below => 1024.megabytes,
                :times => [3,4]
            )
            child_process.checks(:cpu_usage,
                :every => 30.seconds,
                :below => 90,
                :times => [3,4]
            )
        end
    end
end

I suspect that mongoid is not receiving the RAILS_ENV, but I'm not sure, I check indentation in mongoid.yml. Should another reason that I not find out.

Answer 1

in /config/application.rb type

require 'mongoid'

Mongoid.load!(File.expand_path('mongoid.yml', './config'))

It may be do it via initializer.
