How to change Mongoid db details in Rails without having to restart the machine

Ok, I got a problem which seems very odd to me. Whenever I change db settings in mongoid.yml file, the changes won't be reflected (like doing a rails c and executing some code like Model.count) until I restart my computer.

Is that a normal behaviour?

In my experience, this kind of problem is often caused by application preloader (like spring) bugging out and not properly reloading changes in application code/config. In case of spring, it is often sufficient to stop it.

spring stop

BUT I've had a few cases where spring would hang up and refuse to stop. In which case I kill it forcefully

killall -9 -m spring

(kill every process with "spring" in its name)
