Hello Monks:

I have a working catalyst app, "SamPool", to which I am adding some standalone scripts. I would like to move the database connection configuration from sampool.conf, which is where it is in my catalyst app, to SamPool.pm, SamPool::Model::DB, or even SamPool::Schema (which is where it is in the standalone app.)

As I read the catalyst faq, http://wiki.catalystframework.org/wiki/faq.view#Configuration, putting the info in SamPool.pm or SamPool::Model::DB should work, though settings placed in either of those would be overwritten by those in sampool.conf. But I cannot get settings placed in SamPool.pm (won't instantiate) or SamPool::Model::DB (won't connect) to work in catalyst.

Perhaps the fact that sampool.conf exists clobbers the settings in SamPool::Model::DB? Perhaps I have goofed in coding the settings when I moved them (though they work for the standalone scripts)?

sampool.conf excerpt 

<Model::DB>
    schema_class SamPool::Schema
    <connect_info>
        dsn dbi:SQLite:__path_to(data,SamPool.db)__
    </connect_info>
</Model::DB>

This works for standalone app but not for catalyst:

SamPool::Model::DB excerpt


__PACKAGE__->config(
    schema_class => 'SamPool::Schema',
    
    connect_info => {
        dsn => 'dbi:SQLite:data/SamPool.db',
        user => '',
        password => '',
    }
);
