hi all, whenever there’s an error, that error page displays all the data i.e. params,session vars,cookie,cache etc to the user. can’t we hide those details? or is there any other way to handle this? this happens irrespective of current running environment, development or production. -DP ---

By default they are hidden in production, unless you’ve chosen otherwise. Errors are however always shown if your browser is running on the same machine as the app. Fred ---

thanks fred, > By default they are hidden in production, unless you’ve chosen > otherwise. as i said in my earlier post, it shows those details even if in production mode. in my environment.rb file, i’ve “ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] ||= ‘production’”. is thr any other setting needs to be done? -DP ---

The conventional setup is to have the line config.action\_controller.consider\_all\_requests\_local = false in config/environments/production.rb and config.action\_controller.consider\_all\_requests\_local = true in both config/environments/development.rb and config/environments/test.rb – Rick DeNatale My blog on Ruby [http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/](http://talklikeaduck.denhaven2.com/) ---
