We are having difficulty figuring out why our app works fine in mongrel development, but in production it gets messed up. On an ajax search function (people search, we are a social network) in development we get the normal amount of results, but in production with the same criteria, much less, and the results are the same no matter if you change the values or not.

First things first, check out your log files while your ajax queries are running. If you’re getting wrong data then you should be able to figure it it’s origin out from the log file.

I would incrementally change production.rb to development.rb and keep testing. Eli
