Hi Matt, This variable is default set to false in development.rb so that you can see code changes in the running application without a web server restart. If you access the application only configuration file is used: development, test or production.rb.
This lost connection problem is of course a bit tricky and unpredictable and I don't have an explanation why this seems to have an effect. The error message is btw not in the log files of http://epf.eclipse.org but for that I can offer an explanation. I suspect the problem is caused by the session management and few users login on http://epf.eclipse.org. So almost all the content of that site is served directly from cached pages and page fragments. I think I can provide a fix for this issue but first I have to be able to reproduce this in my environment. In what mode are you running the application when this problem occurs? If are only using the application and not changing it, you should run in production mode. That has the best settings for a production environment. If you are on Linux you can specify the environment using a environment variable RAILS_ENV for example with export RAILS_ENV=production But if the variable is not set, it is set to production in environment.rb which has the line ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production' Best Regards, Onno On Thu, May 19, 2011 at 3:57 PM, Matthew Austin <matthew.aus...@detica.com>wrote: > Hi Onno, > > Thanks for your reply.
