Rails database access problem

David Corbin

4/27/2005 10:11:00 AM

1) I've configured my "config/database.xml" adapter to point
at /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock, which is what my mysqld specifies on the
command line. I checked, and the socket exists, and is readable and
writeabel by everyone. However, I still get the following error:

[dcorbin@bass ~/projects/app] rake
(in /home/dcorbin/projects/app)
rake aborted!
database configuration specifies nonexistent /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
adapter
/Rakefile:15

Please help.

2) Is this list really the best place to get rails-specific support? I can
find no other specific list.

There is a specific rails list you might want to try:

http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/list...

I don't know if anyone's ever made this observation before, or if it has
another well-known name:

"You always find the answer right after you post your question." -- Corbin's
Law.

Not only did I find that mailing list, but I found the IRC channel where I got
straightend out. User error in editing the config/database.yml file.

Thanks.
David

This technique to find the answer is called "rubber ducking" - see Dave
and Andy's book "The Pragmatic Programmer", page 95.

Happy rubying
