SemiFixed: Missing `secret_key_base` for 'production' environment

Question

I\'ve created a rails app (Rails 4.1.0) from scratch and I am getting a problem that I am not able to solve. I have installed and configured Apache Passenger Module, it work

Answer 1

What I did : On my production server, I create a config file (confthin.yml) for Thin (I'm using it) and add the following information :

environment: production user: www-data group: www-data SECRET_KEY_BASE: mysecretkeyproduction

I then launch the app with

thin start -C /whereeveristhefieonprod/configthin.yml

Work like a charm and then no need to have the secret key on version control

Hope it could help, but I'm sure the same thing could be done with Unicorn and others.
