WSGI and Rack apps in development mode

Last edited by Eric Franz

Add to the base of your wsgi or rack app this .htaccess file:

RailsEnv development

i.e.

-bash-4.1$ cat ~/awesim_dev/django2/.htaccess
RailsEnv development
-bash-4.1$

This sets RAILS_ENV and RACK_ENV and WSGI_ENV to development. So this is what you would do for both Django and Rails apps.

Note: we are using a version of Passenger before the introduction of PassengerAppEnv if you are wondering why we aren't using PassengerAppEnv. The latest version of Passenger is 4.0.39 but 4.0.20 seems to be the one currently in use at OSC.
