Where is mongoid.yml?

I just installed mongoid. I tried their sample code, it raised a beautiful error with a recommendation "Double check your mongid.yml..." So I went to read their intro at mongoid.org, where they say: "Mongoid configuration can be done through a mongoid.yml". But I dig it how everyone takes for granted that the noob like me will know where the Heaven that mongoid.yml is. Sure, I could just find -name mongoid.yml, but isn't this weird? Is this a kind of harrowing that every new Mongoid user have to go through?

Edit: OK., this is exactly what I've sporked from Mongoid website.

require 'mongoid'

class Human
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :name, type: String
  embeds_many :interests
end

class Interest
  include Mongoid::Document
  field :content, type: String
  embedded_in :human
end

ccfu = Human.where( name: "John Doe" )
ccfu.interests.create( content: "criminal activity" )

If you are not using Ruby on Rails you can put mongoid.yml wherever you like and then in your code you can load it using the load! method:

Mongoid.load!('path/to/mongoid.yml', :development)

Or:

ENV['MONGOID_ENV'] = 'development'
Mongoid.load!('path/to/mongoid.yml')

On Ruby on Rails it is inside the config directory.
