How to load the database.yml file again during runtime?
Hi, I have an application that allows the user to make changes to the database.yml file so that he can connect to another database. However I have to manually restart the application to make the changes in database.yml effective. My question is: is there any way of making the changes in database.yml effective from the application code? or at least, is there any way of restarting the application from the application code?

Propagating that change to all of your mongrels might be interesting.

I''ve done this on another platform for a special application case. I have a local script I use during dev to "restart" rails: echo "stopping rails..." mongrel_rails stop /Users/greg/Sites/{path_to_application}/log echo "starting rails..." cd /Users/greg/Sites/{path_to_application} mongrel_rails start -d -p 3001 echo "done" echo "" So, something like that with the mongrel_cluster commands and without the echo feedback. -- gw --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
