Lets say i am taking my Rails code to a prod server, how do i tell rails to use the prod env file/properties?

You set the environment variable
RAILS_ENVtoproductionordevelopment. You can do that through Phusion Passenger’sRailsEnvsetting (assuming you’re using Phusion Passenger, and if you aren’t, why aren’t you? 🙂 ), or through Apache’sSetEnvparameter, or using the configuration parameter of whatever server you’re running on.(If you’re using Phusion Passenger,
RailsEnvis set toproductionby default.)
