I just noticed something. I''m running OS X and I''ve installed/updated Ruby to 1.8.4 using the HiveLogic instructions. In generating a new app, I noticed that the dispatch.cgi, dispatch.fcgi and dispatch.rb all start with: #!/usr/bin/ruby and not #!/usr/bin/env ruby The script/server file does use ''env''. Now, how will this impact how Rails is run? Will it use the Ruby 1.8.2 that''s preinstalled by OS X or use 1.8.4 that I loaded (in /usr/local/bin)? Should I make sure to change the three dispatch lines to /usr/bin/env ruby ? I''m sort of surprised this hasn''t come up ( or maybe it has and I''ve missed it...) Thanks, jt

While it may be "right" from your shell it may not be from, say, FCGI or CGI running under apache (if you let the system start apache at boot time without modifying things).> Now, how will this impact how Rails is run?

Just remember that you''ve done so if you move things to another server (because I of course forgot when I rsync''d to my hosting company . . . *grrr*). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

In running local and using script/server (which launches lighttpd), I was just curious which Ruby was being used. .. since I went through the trouble of installing the updated version, I''d like to make sure that it''s used ;)> I personally tend to hard code them to the /usr/local/bin version.

Something to watch out for, I guess.
