environment issues with apache/fastcgi

ok, i''m running a rails application using apache and fastcgi. this is
the second rails application on the box, and we''re keeping the two
separate with vhosts and fastcgiserver directives. i essentially copied
the working application''s vhost entry (changed the port, added a ssl
certificate), but the new app is not functional.

from everything i can determine, the application starts up in production
mode - the fastcgiserver directive has "-initial-env
RAILS_ENV=production". but ... when i request a page, the application
writes into development.log and complains because it can''t connect to
the database using development settings.

i''ve grepped my codebase for any calls to establish_connection, but can
find nothing.

anyone?
