Hi there,

i’m new to Rails 2.3.4 (always used 2.0.2) but i mentioned there are a  
few changes in relation to the environment.  
If I check the ‘RAILS\_ENV’, ‘development’ is displayed.  
I always thought, that caching is disabled and I don’t have to restart  
my APACHE2-SERVER after every change in the code.

If i run my application and try to refresh it, the browser reloads - but  
nothing happens. (If I start the app on Webrick Localhost, everything is  
fine)

Can someone give me a hint?

Thanks 'till now.  
Hans

Ahhh…

i didn’t worked it right. If i launch my application via apache2, my  
RAILS\_ENV is show as ‘production’.

How can I change this? There is no variable left in the code.
