Thinking Sphinx generates sphinx configuration files with the environment as a prefix, within the config directory of your app - so, development.sphinx.conf, test.sphinx.conf, production.sphinx.conf (and so on for other environments if you have them). sphinx.conf is just the default file name Sphinx expects if nothing else is specified - but TS will always specify the specific environment file.
