[Backgroundrb-devel] unable to figure out how to get backgroundrb.yml to be used when starting backgroundrb

[Chris Hall]

i ran rake backgroundrb:setup and modified the default
config/backgroundrb.yml file as:

---
port: "22223"
timer_sleep: 60
load_rails: true
environment: production
host: localhost
database_yml: config/database.yml
acl:
  deny: all
  allow: localhost 127.0.0.1
  order: deny,allow

and my database.yml

production:
  adapter: mysql
  database: chip2_production
  username: xxxxx
  password: xxxxx
  socket: /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock



i found that rake backgroundrb:start starts the server with the
default values so i attempted to run:

script/backgroundrb/start --config-file config/backgroundrb.yml

but i get the following error:

AM2005:/srv/www/railsapps/chip2-beta-demo_091506 #
script/backgroundrb/start --config-file config/backgroundrb.yml
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract/connection_specification.rb:194:in

`require'
        from script/backgroundrb/start:68

if backgroundrb is to use the backgroundrb.ylm config file, why would
it be trying to use the development database settings?  it's as if
it's not even reading the config file.
