Mongoid isn't an ActiveRecord adapter

If you want to use mongoid then you don't need to use ActiveRecord at all (unless of course you also have a SQL database your app uses). If you don't need active record then you'll probably need to disable the active record framework entirely or else it will probably complain about not being able to connect.

So in addition to not putting mongo stuff in database.yml, your models look like

class Person
  include Mongoid::Document
  ...
  end
end

rather than inheriting from ActiveRecord::Base

It also means no Activerecord migrations etc.
