Hi Jeff,
Within your config/deploy/staging.rb file something like the following
could help:
require 'erb'
before "deploy:setup", :db
after "deploy:update_code", "db:symlink"
namespace :db do
desc "Create database yaml in shared path"
task :default do
db_config = ERB.new <<-EOF
staging:
adapter: mysql
encoding: utf8
username: #{user}
password: #{password}
database: #{application}_staging
EOF
run "mkdir -p #{shared_path}/config"
put db_config.result, "#{shared_path}/config/database.yml"
end
desc "Make symlink for database yaml"
task :symlink do
run "ln -nfs #{shared_path}/config/database.yml #{release_path}/
config/database.yml"
end
end
Regards,
Keith
