Rails - Aug 2006 - How to set RAILS_ENV for different directories (fcgid)

Hello!

I want to use the same application in two environments (production and
development) on the same server (apache2 with fcgid) in different
(aliased) directories.

Is there a way to specify RAILS_ENV inside my <Directory> directives? I
have the line
DefaultInitEnv RAILS_ENV production
in my httpd.conf but I want one of the directories to be development.

Setting the ENV var directly in environment.rb is not an option because
I update the production server via SVN but need to keep environment.rb
in my repository.

Hi,

I had the same problem.  Unfortunately my solution was to change the
environment.rb for the production app.

In Apache I have two virtual hosts, and I put the following in the
staging defination :

SetEnv RAILS_ENV development

and in the production host I put :

SetEnv RAILS_ENV production

But for some reason that does not work.  Maybe someone can tell us why
this solution does not work.

Kind Regards
Hamza

You could make the enviroment.rb more dynamic, i.e. compute the value for
RAILS_ENV from the current path. A hack but all ruby:
> RAILS_ENV = case `hostname`.chomp  
>             when "myserver":
/myproduction_dir/.match(File.expand_path(RAILS_ROOT)) ?
''production'' : ''development
>             else ''development''
>             end
Or something along these lines.
