Getting error trying to start rails server on Vagrant vm

Question

below is the console error message I get when trying to run "rails s" on a vagrant VM. It exits with all this error message, first line being /home/vagrant/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p247/lib/ruby/2.0.0/net/http.rb:878:in `initialize': Connection refused - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

Not sure what is going on here ...

Thank you so much

config\initializers\tire.rb subdomain = ""

if Rails.env.alpha?
  subdomain = ".alpha."
end

if Rails.env.development?
  Tire.configure { logger 'log/elasticsearch_development.log', :level => 'debug' }
else
  Tire.configure { logger "log/elasticsearch.#{Rails.env.to_s.downcase}.log" }
end

prefix = "org.#{Rails.application.class.parent_name.downcase}#{subdomain}_#{Rails.env.to_s.downcase}"
Tire::Model::Search.index_prefix(prefix)


def get_indices_for_env(prefix)
  aliases = Tire::Configuration.client.get(Tire::Configuration.url + '/_aliases').body
  global_indices = MultiJson.load(aliases).keys

  all_indices = global_indices.select do |index|
    index.start_with? prefix
  end
  all_indices.freeze
end

ALL_INDICES = get_indices_for_env(prefix)

Take a look at the code: 'config/initializers/tire.rb:20' based on the error it is making an http request and failing — house9
@house9 thanks house9, I edited the original post with the ruby file in config/initializers/tire.rb but not exactly sure what the problem is ... I'm seeing this Rails project for the 1st time, handed down from somebody else through Vagrant. — Terry Bu
Start with commenting out that file and see if you can get rails to start up — house9
@house9 thanks, commenting out that stupid file worked but now i have another problem though ... maybe I can deal with it on another question but would you have any idea with this? The rails server puts up error that says: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in PostsController#homepage Mysql2::Error: Unknown column 'posts.status' in 'where clause': SELECT posts.* FROM posts WHERE posts.status = 'PUBLISHED' AND posts.post_type = 'About' AND (title LIKE 'About Ourgoods%') ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1.... I have the database snapshot in a *.sql file, so I guess i have to hook it up — Terry Bu

Like house9 commented above, I basically commented out the entire ruby file that was causing me the problems.

And then I had a problem starting the Rails server because it couldn't find a database. So it threw an ActiveRecord error:

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in PostsController#homepage Mysql2::Error: Unknown column 'posts.status' in 'where clause': SELECT posts.* FROM posts WHERE posts.status = 'PUBLISHED' AND posts.post_type = 'About' AND (title LIKE 'About Ourgoods%') ORDER BY created_at DESC LIMIT 1....

After connecting a .sql file that I had to the Rails app (following instructions from: How do I connect a mysql database file to a local ruby on rails application), and running rake db:migrate, I finally got rails s working!
