Connecting to other databases not development, production, t

Rails
1

Hello,

I’ve set my database.yml like this:

development:
adapter: mysql
database: teste_development
username: root
password:
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

test:
adapter: mysql
database: teste_test
username: root
password:
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

production:
adapter: mysql
database: teste_production
username: root
password:
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock

other_db:
adapter: mysql
database: somedatabase
username: user
password: pass
socket: /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
host: localhost

In the model I set the connection with: establish_connection
“other_db”

When I run the controller in the browser I get the following error:
other_db database is not configured

Did I miss something? (I restarted the web server)

Thanks.

Hello,

Maybe a copy/paste error, but that last entry looks like you are using
tabs, not spaces… and YAML files hate tabs…

?

Exactly, I thought the YAML files were smarter :slight_smile:
