Issues During Development

• Rails Error: "action controller doesn't recognize term input"
  • Run rake db:drop db:create db:migrate

Additional Production Environment Configuration

• By default, Rails will listen on port 3000.
  • Use ModProxy on Apache or similar to forward traffic from existing infrastructure or
  • If you wish to automatically serve from another port edit line default_options_alias.merge!(:Port => 3000) in /config/boot.rb to specify which port the website should be hosted on
• Configure mailer subsystem for user email confirmation:
  1. in /config/environments/development.rb remove:

    config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
    config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {:address => "localhost", :port => 1025}
  

  2. in /config/environments/production.rb add:

    config.action_mailer.default_url_options = {:host => 'yourdomain.com'}
    config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
    config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
        :address => "127.0.0.1",
        :port    => 25,
        :domain  => 'yourdomain.com'
