I have three rails projects. the first two works fine and I can view  
database details from Data Navigator of RadRails. But the third one,  
which is newly imported into RadRails, a typo4.1, has a problem. I can’t  
see it’s databases from the radrails windows. it isn’t on the Data  
Navigator list at all. The typo itself can connect to the database and  
works fine.  
What should I to do to add typo on the RadRails’ Data Navigator list?

I’ve had the same problem with RadRails… apparently it doesn’t  
recognize a new project unless you use it’s built-in tool to create  
the project (just creating the project outside of RadRails and  
expecting it to ‘see’ the project doesn’t work).

Create the project as if it were new, turn off all the options,  
particularly the one that says “Create a new project skeleton” and it  
will recognize what you already have without disturbing anything that  
you’ve already created!

I know, it shouldn’t be soo obtuse 🙂

HTH…jon
