Rails - Dec 2005 - Can't tell Rails to run in production via my Apache config

I''ve been wrestling with this problem the last few days and
can''t see what
I''m doing wrong. I have a rails app and when I try to run it on my
Apache+FCGI set up I can never get it to run in production mode by setting
that flag in the `httpd.conf` file.

<IfModule mod_fastcgi.c>
  FastCgiIpcDir /tmp/fcgi_ipc
  FastCgiServer /webserver/cbwebsite/releases/rel44/public/dispatch.fcgi \
    -initial-env RAILS_ENV=production \
    -processes 1 -idle-timeout 120
</IfModule>

If I manually uncomment the line in the `environment.rb` file and tell it to
run in production mode explicitly it does work, but I want to do this from
the Apache log for obvious reasons.

Similarly, I can run the app under WEBrick in production mode by passing it
the flag. Why can''t I do this with Apache+FCGI?

Any help/suggestions welcome. Thanks.
