Opening a wallet with bitcoind

Question

I am running bitcoind after previously running bitcoin-qt. I made a wallet with bitcoin-qt (and encrypted it) and I would like to open it now with bitcoind. The folder that contains the wallet.dat file is in the data directory, but when I run either of the following:

bitcoin-cli listwallets
bitcoin-cli getwalletinfo

it does not show my wallet. I have tried:

bitcoind -wallet="directory with wallet.data file"

and still no luck, it just tried to rund bitcoind and says it is already running (not sure why, I am running bitcoind -daemon).

Any idea how I can import this wallet?

Run RPC listwallets and check if your account is listed.
If not, run loadwallet with only account name:
(assuming directory on disk: /home/user/.bitcoin/wallets/accountname/wallet.dat)
Command: loadwallet accountname
