Hi-
I'm having trouble getting a Rails app to run in the production environment via Phusion Passenger on Nginx/Ubuntu. According to the docs, the environment is controlled by the rails_env option in nginx.conf ... but it runs in development mode on our box regardless of whether we specify 'rails_env production;' or leave it out (the default is said to be production).
Other notes:
The Linux environment variable RAILS_ENV is also set to production.
We can run in production mode using 'script/server -e production', so it doesn't seem to be a case of Ruby code overriding the environment.
Any ideas?
Full nginx.conf:
worker_processes 1;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
passenger_root /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-2.2.7;
passenger_ruby /usr/bin/ruby1.8;
include mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
sendfile on;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_vary on;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
server {
listen 80;
server_name bar.foo.com;
root /home/foo/dev/bar/public;
passenger_enabled on;
rails_env production;
}
}
