Question

I just cloned a repo from github and bundle installed everything and created a mysql db via rake db:create. I migrated the database and everything….however, I have no idea where it is located? Usually when I use sqlite, it’s in the db/ folder…but this database is not. where can I find it?

Answer 1

Look in your MySQL config file. Usually it’s called my.cnf. Where to find this config on your system, we can’t say 🙂

Look for datadir in a config file

[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql/
