On my Ubuntu server with apache2/rails 3.0.3 I’d like to know which user runs my app.

Documentation and a lot of sources on the net says that the owner of config/environnement.rb is the one running the app.

If I ps -aux|grep apache, I can only see processes with www-data as the owner. There is no passenger or ruby or rails processes.

How can I know for sure which user is running my rails app?

    Use ps aux | grep -i passenger or if that doesn’t result in anything, ps aux | grep -i /application/directory/

    If it’s running as a passenger app, this will return the Passenger processes. Specifically, you’ll probably be looking for Passenger ApplicationSpawner: /your/app/public/
