Hi, In my environment.rb I want to pick up a variable called ENV[''site''] that should be set by the webserver. Using lighty I could do it, but how do you achieve this with Apache, mod_proxy_balancer and Mongrel?

Just create a file with: ENV[''site''] = "www.joesfancywidgets.com" Name it mongrel.conf, and then start your mongrel with: mongrel_rails start -e production -S mongrel.conf The mongrel.conf file is loaded before rails or anything else and it is a ruby script. Try it out and let me know how it works. -- Zed A.

Hi Zed, Hmm, it doesn''t seem to work, no errors but no cigar either. here''s what I do ror1:/w/tennis/current$ sudo mongrel_rails start -e production -p 80 -S config/mongrel.conf ** Starting Mongrel listening at 0.0.0.0:80 ** Starting Rails with production environment ... ** Rails loaded. ** Loading any Rails specific GemPlugins ** Loading config/mongrel.conf external config script ** Signals ready. TERM => stop. USR2 => restart. INT => stop (no restart). ** Rails signals registered. HUP => reload (without restart). It might not work well. ** Mongrel available at 0.0.0.0:80 The idea is that, depending on which Vhost is getting the request, ENV[''site''] is set to a particular value. With that value the correct database, css etc gets loaded.

Strange, if I do a <%=debug ENV %> in my view I *do* see an entry for
"SITE" so you''re method works as advertised.
Last line in my environment.rb:
RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER.warn(''SITE:'' +
ENV[''SITE''].inspect)
But this ouputs "SITE: nil" in my production.log
Any ideas?
Jeroen
