Rails - Jul 2006 - why is webrick running in development mode?

Hi,

I changed my environmnet.rb to say PRODUCTION mode, however when I start 
up a server "ruby scripts/server"

a) it runs in development mode (via the logs) - any ideas why?

b) why does webbrick run - I thought by default now it was supposed to 
be lightty

Tks

Oh.. I guess I''m trying to understand why on my hosting environment 
(dreamhost) it seems to run in PRODUCTION mode (dreamhost using Apache & 
FastCGI), but on my local PC (with the same environment.rb file) it runs 
in DEVELOPMENT mode.   Perhaps the script/server scripts themself 
override the environment.rb setting?

BTW - The behaviour I''m after is pretty much as things are occuring
now,
I just don''t quite understand why things are occuring like they are :)

Greg,

If you''ve got Agile Web Dev with Rails, goto pg 463 where it explains 
how to set the environment for each webserver.  Using -e production only 
works for webrick.  Apache uses the RAILS_ENV.

hth,

To get webby to run in production mode I think you need to do

script/server -e production  or

script/server --environment=production

a) Do you mean you uncommented the following line?
     # ENV[''RAILS_ENV''] ||= ''production''
b) Is lighttpd in your PATH? Try ''which lighttpd'' to check.

Rails will not use lighttpd if the libfcgi-ruby is not installed. 
That''s tripped me up a couple of times.

I used InstantRails to get Ruby/Rails onto my PC so perhaps lighttpd is 
not part of the package, so I guess this is why its defaulting to 
webbrick.

Is it worth installing any making the move from webbrick to lighty just 
for a development environment on my PC?  (i.e. I''m using dreamhost for 
hosting, so this is Apache/FastCGI I believe - I guess the best would be 
to match production and run Apache/FastCGI on my PC???)

Tks
