How to disable caching in Rails?

Question

How can I disable caching for my rails site?

I'm running Passenger (mod_rails) and my site is running in 'development' mode:

'ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'development'

Any help?

Answer 1

Okay, so I'll answer this question in case anybody else runs into the same problem. Basically, mod_rails was ignoring my 'development' setting that I had set in the environment.rb file. Adding this to my virtualhost configuration for my site fixed it, however:

RailsEnv "development"

See this link for more details.

Hope that helps somebody else!

By default Passenger will set RAILS_ENV to 'production'. The line ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'development' will only cause the Rails environment to be set to 'development' if it has not already set.

You need to add RailsEnv development to your virtual host configuration for the site to make Passenger run Rails in the development environment.
