Environment issues with apache/fastcgi

ok, i’m running a rails application using apache and fastcgi. this is
the second rails application on the box, and we’re keeping the two
separate with vhosts and fastcgiserver directives. i essentially copied
the working application’s vhost entry (changed the port, added a ssl
certificate), but the new app is not functional.

from everything i can determine, the application starts up in production
mode - the fastcgiserver directive has “-initial-env
RAILS_ENV=production”. but … when i request a page, the application
writes into development.log and complains because it can’t connect to
the database using development settings.

i’ve grepped my codebase for any calls to establish_connection, but can
find nothing.

anyone?

It might help if you’d show me (us) the “config”… :slight_smile:

mmmm, turns out it wouldn’t have helped. the culprit was a single
missing letter - ‘f’. since i was copying another working site, i didn’t
know to fix the .htaccess to point at dispatch.fcgi instead of
dispatch.cgi. gaarrr.

why is dispatch.cgi the default?
