Rails - Jul 2005 - RAILS_ENV=production

How do I go about setting my Rails project to production mode when I
am using FastCGI and don''t control the httpd.conf on the server?  Do
most web hosts run in development mode or is mine just weird?

In the Rails book it says:

Apache/FastCGI:
In httpd.conf, add the following option to the FastCgiServer definition.
-initial-env RAILS_ENV=production

Is there some different syntax for an .htaccess file perhaps?

Thanks,

Some people may have better options, but I usually just change the
second line of my app/config/environment.rb from:

RAILS_ENV  = ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||
''development''

to:

RAILS_ENV = ''production''
