Setting the database path.

[declan]

I'm trying to set the storage_path in my config/application.rb, like this

Neo4j::Config[:storage_path] = 'db/neo4j'

This seems to work at the time (i.e. no errors, a print statement confirms it was set properly), but then both the server and the console use the old storage_path when they actually create the database. In other words, all the files are created directly in the db/ directory.

Why does the application not use the new storage path?

Its à bit similar to issue #96
Not sure if I can reproduce this. Looks like the db starts before the application.rb is loaded.

Yeah, similar to #96. It works when I set storage_path like this

config.neo4j.storage_path = 'db/neo4j'

but not when I try to write to the Neo4j::Config object directly.

What was confusing me was actually just that the README.txt in the gem points to documentation that recommends the second approach (which doesn't work), instead of the first. I'll submit a pull request and update the README, if that works for you.

Great, thanks.
The Neo4j::Config object should be used when not running from rails.

Ok, sent a pull request.
