I’ve created a rails app (Rails 4.1.0) from scratch and I am getting a
problem that I am not able to solve. I have installed and configured
Apache
Passenger Module, it works fine. Any time I try to access the virtual
host
I get an error 500:
Missing secret_key_base for 'production' environment, set this value
in
config/secrets.yml
The secret.yml file contains the following configuration:
secret_key_base: <%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %>
Even when it’s not recommended I did this:
production:
secret_key_base: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (random key)
But Apache logs show this:
# tailf /etc/httpd/logs/error_log
[Tue May 06 12:56:18 2014] [error] [client 192.168.3.1] Premature
end
of script headers:

How I can fix this error? How do I access the development enviroment? I
mean how I can write code, test in my browser and then deploy to Heroku
or
just test in production enviroment?
