I'm having an issue getting my app to start up in production. After spending a lot of time trying to troubleshoot differences between production and development servers, I set up a clean Ubuntu 14.04 server on EC2. Everything runs fine in the development environment, but as soon as I try to do anything in the production environment, it fails immediately with no errors and no logs (that I can find). See below for what I'm getting on the command line when trying to start the server or create the database.

Basically, running any command seems to stop after getting the message "Abort testing: Your Rails environment is running in production mode!" I've tried pointing to the already-created dev database in database.yml and running the server, but I get the same problem. I've tried using WEBrick, puma and unicorn. All end up with the same issue. I even copied environments/development.rb to environments/production.rb, with no luck. I'm new to RoR and this kind of development environment. I don't even know where to begin troubleshooting this, so any help would be appreciated.
