Oops, no :) Edited!

Just because I googled this for ages and browsed source code:

If using Mongoid, you don't need to manually reconnect as in the gist.

Mongoid claims: "When using Unicorn or Passenger, each time a child process is forked when using app preloading or smart spawning, Mongoid will automatically reconnect to the master database. If you are doing this in your application manually you may remove your code."

• From http://mongoid.org/en/mongoid/docs/rails.html

@walidhalabi, Is this true for Mongoid 2.x as well? I couldn't find any supporting documentation. Thanks.

@premjg, you can find the same documentation for Mongoid 2.x, here : http://two.mongoid.org/docs/rails/railties.html

What would it look like if you were using Mongo, Postgres/ActiveRecord AND Resque? I'm having weird EOF issues with Resque/Postgres and Heroku, and I'm wondering if my config here is part of the issue.

@leshill, there is a comment # If you are using Redis but not Resque, change this, what should it be changed to if you are just using Redis?

My thought was it would look something like the below text. However, the Redis.current.quit throws errors because .current tries to connect to the default localhost (which doesn't exist if using an external Redis server).

before_fork do |server, worker|
  if defined?(Redis)
    # this throws errors
    # Redis.current tries to connect localhost
    Redis.current.quit
  end
end

after_fork do |server, worker|
  if defined?(Redis)
    Redis.current = Redis.new(url: ENV['REDIS_URI'])
  end
end

@harlow Did you figure the Redis config out. Im using Redistogo without Resque and can't find much in the way of configs like that.
