Ruby on Rails

Hassan,

I am so embarrassed.  I have no idea where in all this code I start Rails.  It just seems to be running when I need it.

You are correct, I do have something called /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

You wrote: "It loads all config at initialization"
So, to confirm, it does load all the *.conf files?
