Catalyst uses Config::General to read .conf files. If Config::General is configured with the option -UseApacheInclude, then you can use an apache "include file.conf" in the .conf file to include another file from another directory which is not saved by git.

Or the option -IncludeDirectories can be also useful so all the files from the given directory will be included.

Subject: Re: [Catalyst] Where best to store database connection information?


the catalyst configloader can load more then just one file.

by default it loads "myapp.conf"

if a file named "myapp_local.conf" exists it is loaded aswell.

Hi,

I have a Catalyst / DBIx::Class application and I have been storing the database connection parameters in a config file which is sourced using MYAPP_CONFIG_LOCAL_SUFFIX. But this seems a bit of a security problem having the main password in a text file like this, especially if it goes into git.

Is there a recommended or best practice place to store database connection information?

Thanks for any help

Adam
