I’m using Eclipse to run a rails server for local development. I  
changed my environment.rb to have

ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] ||= ‘production’

as this is what i did with my live deployed version to get it to run in  
prod mode. But, when i restart the server in eclipse, it’s still in dev  
mode.

The ‘file’ setting in my eclipse ‘run’ dialog is “script\server”. Do i  
need to run something else to get it into dev mode?

I also just tested with mongrel: if i do

mongrel\_rails start -e production

then it seems to still run in dev mode as well.

Can anyone explain what i’m doing wrong?

thanks  
max

I think you should ask this question in the aptana forum:  
[http://www.aptana.com/forums/](http://www.aptana.com/forums/)

That is if you are using RadRails.
