Hi all.

I switched to production environment for my rails app.

My production environment is an apache2+mongrel.

All worked fine, but I have a problem: when an error is generated all  
debug infos come out, as like as in development environment occurs.

What can be the problem?

Note that:

- in my mongrel\_cluster yml config file there is the line: environment:  
production
- the app really runs in the production environment, because it reads  
data from production DB
- I tried to set RAILS\_ENV=production in environmet.rb, but it did not  
work
- I also tried to set config.log\_level = :info in environments.rb, but  
it did not work
- inside the rails app the variable RAILS\_ENV is set to production
- if I launch ruby script/server -e production all works fine and I  
don’t see debug info on errors

The strange thing is that it really runs in production environment but  
the error pages have debug info. Besides this does not occur if I launch  
mongrel\_rails from command line but only with mongrel clusters

Thanks to all

The basics first I suppose. Did you restart your mongrels after  
updating  
the environment.rb? Also, are you sure the log level is malfunctioning?  
Maybe you want to set it to another level like :error or :fatal. Maybe  
try  
one of those out first and see if it’s closer to what you are looking  
for.
