I'm using user-per-app configuration on an Ubuntu server running ruby 1.9.3 and rails 3.2.8.

When I create a new site using rails new test_app in the home directory of one user (my main user) and then run rails s from the app directory I get 

Rails 3.2.8 application starting in development on http://0.0.0.0:3000

but when I su to another user and run the same commands in the home directory of that user, I get

Rails 3.2.8 application starting in production on http://0.0.0.0:3000

and the same thing even if I run

rails s -e development

No matter what I do as the other user, I cannot get WEBrick to start in development. What's going on here?

This must be my day to post Stack Exchange questions and then find the answer myself within moments.

Obviously there was something different about these two users and I just could not figure out what it was. The difference between users ended up being that as the failing user I was playing around with @wayne-e-seguin 's SM framework. The default installation of this sets the environment and RAILS_ENV to production. Setting those to "development" in ~/.smrc did the trick.
