As for the abnormalities: on closer look I don't see anything obvious (what was I thinking?). Perhaps I accidentally traversed into the shadow realm of the __MACOSX directory :-) George By: Admin Admin RE: database.yml.example missing in alacarte 1.0 [ reply ]   2008-10-02 03:57 Hello, Thanks for letting me know about the missing file. There is a svn repos that contains it. I will also load the file up (no the /rails/... file is not the one you should edit but you can use it as an example). I would be interested to know what other abnormalities you found, so I can fix them. You are also correct about dashes - the readme is incorrect you should use underscores. I will fix the readme. Thanks. By: George Lancina database.yml.example missing in alacarte 1.0 [ reply ]   2008-10-02 00:24 Greetings, I just downloaded alacarte 1.0 and am following the steps in the README. I created the databases in mysql (mysql doesn't seem to like dashes in names so I used underscores instead) and I set up a database user that has appropriate rights. Now I'm looking for the file specified as config/database.yml.example. I searched throughout and there's no file by that name anywhere. There is a promising looking file called vendor/rails/railties/configs/databases/mysql.yml. Is that what you mean? There's a few other abnormalities in the .zip contents, but surpassing this one may get me going. I'm an experienced Linux system/web/mysql admin and a competent perl/cgi scripter, but have not done anything with ruby. Thanks in advance for any help/clarification.
