[Rails] Re: Switch between environments

Thanks Hassan,

This is exactly what I don't get!

The "Development" environment is the default environment in Rails,
yes?

Now, that means my data is contained in development.sqlite3 and 'rails
server' starts WEBrick and so we can view the site from www.homepage.com:3000.

The step after this is precisely what I'm missing... because nobody
talks about it... all the books and guides pretty much stop short of
this...

So this is my question: How do I move everything to the "production
environment". I'd imagine that is the ultimate goal, is it not?

How do I copy the data to production.sqlite3 (just issue: rake
db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production) and have all the code (which I
created in the Development Env) working in the "Production"
environment so it doesn't have to be served out using WEBRick.

Thanks Much,

~Kal

It's just a test app. However, my plan is to deploy a web application
on a public website... someday :)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, I'm running:

Ruby 1.9.3p0
Rails 3.1.3
Phusion Passenger version 3.0.11
CentOS release 5.6
Server version: Apache/2.2.3
