RAILS_ENV in config/environment.rb is not respected

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install Passenger
2. Configure a virtualhost for a Rails app
3. Set the RailsEnv directive to production
4. Set the RAILS_ENV in config/environment.rb to 'development'
5. Load a path that does not exist ( http://myapp.com/does-not-exist ) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Expected: Rails backtrace for NoMethodError
Instead: Default Rails 404 page. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 1.0.1 on Centos 4.5 w/ Apache 2.0

This problem should be fixed in the development version (git repository) now. Could
you verify? Thanks.

I just pulled it down and installed... still no dice. Are there any particular logs
I can send you that may assist?

What do you have in your environment.rb? It should be

ENV['RAILS_ENV'] = 'development'

instead of the default

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

It's set correctly, but still isn't working. I've restarted httpd and touched
tmp/restart.txt -- no dice.

Which Rails version are you using?

I've just tested with Apache 2.0.55 and Apache 2.2.4, with both Rails 2.0.2 and
1.2.6. I could not reproduce this problem with the latest development version.

Very strange. What else can we do? This isn't working on any of the boxes I've
tried (CentOS 4.5, 5, and Mac OS X, on Apache 2.0 and 2.2 with Rails 1.2.3, 1.2.6,
and 2.0.2).

Are you sure you've installed the development version correctly? After running 'git
clone' you should run the installer (bin/passenger-install-apache2-module) and copy &
paste the given config options.
