Cherrypy: Getting app config settings when starting with cherryd

Question

I use the following command to start the script:

cherryd -c tiny.cfg -i tiny

But I cannot read the app config settings (database). What is wrong?

tiny.py

import cherrypy

class HelloWorld:
    def index(self):
        return "Hello world!"
    index.exposed = True

app = cherrypy.tree.mount(HelloWorld(), '/')
print 'app.config', app.config
print 'cherrypy.config', cherrypy.config

tiny.cfg

[global]
server.socket_host: "0.0.0.0"

[database]
driver: "mysql"
host: "localhost"

Answer 1

Try passing your config to the tree.mount call as well:

app = cherrypy.tree.mount(HelloWorld(), '/', 'tiny.cfg')
