For more advanced deployment (e.g. using FastCGI or load balancing proxies), refer to the Ruby on Rails documentation.

## Security warning

If you are planning on deploying Railscollab in a production environment, **make sure you change the secret session key**. Otherwise unauthorized users will be able to make a fake session (e.g. logged in as the administrator) and compromise your installation.

The relevant line is located in "config/environment.rb":

config.action_controller.session = {
:session_key => '_railscollab_session',
:secret => 'CHANGE THIS TO SOMETHING LONG AND RANDOM'
}

## File Storage

RailsCollab allows the user to upload files, provided they have sufficient permissions.
