Running a rails server in production locally (InvalidMessage error)

Question

I\'m running Ruby 2.5.1 and Rails 5.2.0. I ran rails s -e production, and it gives this error:

/home/roy/.rbenv/versions/2.5.1/lib/ruby/gems/2.5         


        

Answer 1

Okay I got it working finally.

I simply deleted my master.key and credentials.yml.enc files and then ran

bin/rails credentials:edit

Which created new files. After that everything worked fine.

I don't really understand why it works though. Can anyone give a good explanation for this?
