Description
Hi,
I'm not seeing any detail configuration steps for this tool, I've updated following file
/home/ec2-user/shift/ui/config/database.yml
with local mysql credentials (but no host name) same EC2 where Shift is installed, I also update config.x.mysql_helper.db_config paramter with username & password in following file.
/home/ec2-user/shift/ui/config/environments/development.rb
now after run following command
"bundle exec rake db:setup"
and run server by issuing follwoing command
RAILS_ENV=production
rails server -b 0.0.0.0 -p 3000
I see databases in database drop down. Do I need to install Shift on same machine where my staging DB is located or how can I connect it to remote mysql host ? In my case its RDS.
Thank you
