Rails - May 2006 - switching from development to production?

I think I''m missing a step here, but they don''t seem to cover
this in
the AWDWR book... does anybody know the various steps required to switch 
from development to production mode in Rails? I''ve scoured the 
application and changed everything that stands out, but the damn thing 
is still running off the development database and won''t connect to the 
production one. Or more accurately, since the production database is 
empty, it won''t "break" for me.

this is in environment.rb:

# Uncomment below to force Rails into production mode when
# you don''t control web/app server and can''t set it the proper
way
# ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production''

but I don''t think that''s the proper way.  I''m pretty
sure it''s just a
setting in a config file somewhere like this though.

Yeah, see that''s the strange part. I did that, and it''s still
working. I
don''t think I''ve set it properly. There wouldn''t be
anyone around who
happens to know the "proper" way, would there?

What OS are you running on? Do you have an environment variable  
RAILS_ENV set?

Did you restart your server after changing the configuration? The 
environment is only read on start up.

script/server -e production

Holy s**t. It worked! What does "script/server -e production" do? I
was
just using script/server as always. I didn''t know you had to specify
anything in the command line to set it as well.

I beleive the built in web server in rails works differently than when
you deploy on Apache.

Good point. Would there be an equivalent necessary step when setting it 
up on Apache?

Nobb... When using Apache then the enviroment.rb step you did should work,
