mongoid

Greetings

I am trying to get Mongoid to work with my Rails app and I am getting an error: "Mongoid::Errors::InvalidDatabase in 'Shipment bol should be unique' Database should be a Mongo::DB, not NilClass" I have created the mongoid.yml file in my config directory and have mongodb running as a daemon. The config file is like so:


defaults: &defaults

host: localhost 
development:

<<: *defaults

database: ship-it-development 
test:

<<: *defaults

database: ship-it-test

production: <<: *defaults host: <%= ENV['MONGOID_HOST'] %> port: <%= ENV['MONGOID_PORT'] %> database: <%= ENV['MONGOID_DATABASE'] %>

All of my specs fail with the above error. I am using rails 2.3.8.

Anyone have ideas?
