Forum: Rails-core (closed, excessive spam) Just a thought

config.active_record.configure do |db|
   db.database = 'test_app_production'
   db.socket   = IO.popen("mysql --help") {|f| f.read() =~ /^socket(.+)
$/ && $1.strip }
   db.credentials = "#{ENV["home"]}/.my.cnf"
end

Good idea or not, I'm just throwing it out there. Not that you
couldn't have done this in yml but...
