Hi,

I’m developing an app on Mac OS X (Leopard), Rails 1.2, and Mogrel.

In developing, I have never seen 404 and 500 pages located in /public  
directory.

I also tried running the server in the production mode by `script/ server -e production`, but I couldn’t see 404 pages.

I want to have a 404 page instead of “MethodMissing” and “Routing  
Errors”…

Tek

I think accessing it from localhost will always give you those errors.  
Try  
accessing it remotely.

No actually it’s because you’re not running in production mode.
