#database.yml

We'll I actually encountered this problem with missing database.yml file in a project using Rails 3 and my solution was to add a new file in config folder that is the database.yml

Here's how:

1. Understand the Error. In that first line, you can see this error

/Users/honeylyn/.rvm/gems/ruby-1.9.3-p194/gems/railties-3.2.8/lib/rails/application/configuration.rb:115:in `read': No such file or directory - /Users/honeylyn/WebApps/honee-adakite/config/database.yml (Errno::ENOENT)

So you know that your database.yml is missing as it said "No such file or directory'

2. Go to your text-editor and look for the config folder. 

You might ask what should be added in the database.yml file

Here's an example of what I added on my database.yml file since I'm using sqlite3:

Righto, so the other day I obliterated my postgre install, don't ask me why or how. It suffice to say it was gone. Add to the fact that metasploit has deprecated the db_driver command, only supporting postgre now, so the sqlite3 instance I had is no more. Oh and if at any point during this post you sit there thing, what the fuck is he on about, I'm writing it as I understand, which might not be correct.

Anyway, I installed postgress and setup a new user. I have constant issues with my Internet connection between home and campus (both going through the university connection, only one requires proxy auth). apt-get was failing and I hate constantly changing settings so I just downloaded and compiled from source.

wget <postgres URL> tar -xvf postgres-version && cd postgres-version ./configure make make install

Made a postgres user for metasploit, created a database and granted permissions to the metasploit user.

sudo -u postgres psql postgres-# create user msfuser with password 'somepassword'; postgres-# create database msfdb; postgres=# grant all privileges on database msfdb to msfuser;

I then fired up metasploit, connected to the db and thought everything was fine, but everytime I restarted my msfconsole session it would forget my db settings. mep.

Anyway, so did some digging in /opt/metasploit-X.X.X/config/
