Problem with switching rails 2.2.2. application to production:

When I uncomment the following two statements or only the first one  
from environment.rb,  
###ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] = ‘production’  
###RAILS\_ENV = ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’]

Then I run in /public,  
ruby dispatch.fcgi

I keep get the following:

Can you post your config/environment.rb file please.

Cheers,

Thanks for your response Nicholas. Sorry for the delay in replying; my  
web host had security issues with SSH.

Here is the information. Any help would be appreciated.

/config/environment.rb (I have not shown most commented lines:

ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] = ‘production’  
RAILS\_ENV = ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’]

# Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not

present  
RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘2.2.2’ unless defined? RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION

# Bootstrap the Rails environment, frameworks, and default

configuration  
require File.join(File.dirname( **FILE** ), ‘boot’)

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|

config.logger = Logger.new(config.log\_path, 10, 1024\*\*2)

config.action\_controller.session = {  
:session\_key =\> ‘\_aks\_session’,  
:secret =\> ‘d8…….6e’  
}

config.action\_controller.session\_store = :active\_record\_store

end

I “froze” to rails 2.2.2  
/vendor/rails/railties/lib/rails/version.rb:  
module Rails  
module VERSION #:nodoc:  
MAJOR = 2  
MINOR = 2  
TINY = 2

```
STRING = [MAJOR, MINOR, TINY].join('.')

```

end  
end

ruby script/about yields:

About your application’s environment  
Ruby version 1.8.7 (i686-linux)  
RubyGems version 1.3.4  
Rails version 2.2.2  
Active Record version 2.2.2

OK, there’s nothing in the environment file that sticks out. A couple  
of questions:

1. What’s the filename of the ApplicationController?
2. Why are you run ‘ruby dispatch.fcgi’?

After making changes to environment.rb to switch to production, I had  
to stop and restart the server. When you asked why I ran “ruby  
dispatch.fcgi”, I did some research and got it working with  
“RAILS\_ENV=production ./dispatch.fcgi”

Thanks for your help.
