Hi

On my Linux Production Box, a Background Process results in following  
error:

(rdb:5) call\_rake(:send\_mailing, {:mailing\_id =\> params  
[:id].to\_i, :rails\_env =\> Rails.env})  
sh: /opt/local/bin/rake: No such file or directory

The strange thing is, that actually the path is set correctly.

-bash-3.1# sh  
sh-3.1# which rake  
/usr/bin/rake  
sh-3.1# bash  
bash-3.1# which rake  
/usr/bin/rake

Does anybody has a clue, why / where I have to set this path, so that /  
usr/bin/rake is taken as a valid path?  
Thank you very much!

regards

Rafael

Ohhh… I am so sorry… just found out myself!  
It was set manually by me in application.rb 😉

one should remember, what has been coded 😃

thanks anyway
