Your objective is want to change configuration in database.yml right?  
you have to stop your webrick and reload it after your database.yml’s  
configured. I never try deploying in development server. Sorry if you  
are not satisfied with my help.

Are you in development or production server?

if you are in production you should use svn and capistrano.

[Voodoo@123.12.12.123](mailto:Voodoo@123.12.12.123) [~/project\_dev]\> svn add config/database.yml  
[Voodoo@123.12.12.123](mailto:Voodoo@123.12.12.123) [~/project\_dev]\> svn commit -m “Configured  
Application for Capistrano”  
[Voodoo@123.12.12.123](mailto:Voodoo@123.12.12.123) [~/project\_dev]\> cap deploy

it will auto deploy to your project app in production server.

if you are in development server :

first you have to do is make sure that you have done gem installed  
mysql, you can change without shutdown the rails. (!~\_~)
