Assuming you want create the hudson environment.

1. Create a new environment file in config/environments/hudson.rb. You can start by cloning an existing one, for instance config/environments/test.rb.
2. Add a new configuration block in config/database.yml for your environment.
3. That's all.

Now you can start the server

ruby script/server -e hudson

Run the console

ruby script/server hudson

And so on.

Answer 3

Create a file config/environments/build.rb which will contain the options specific to your environment.
Add your new environment's database credentials in config/database.yml.

Rock and roll!
