Rails console default environment

Question

On my development machine:

$ bundle exec rails console
Loading development environment (Rails 3.2.3)
1.9.3p194 :001 > Rails.env
 => \"development\"
         


        

Answer 1

The rails executable can't know which environment should run on which machine.

you can put export RAILS_ENV=production in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile file of the user you want to start the console with.
