/**
* Set the environment string by the domain (defaults to Kohana::DEVELOPMENT).
*/
Kohana::$environment = ($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] !== 'localhost') ? Kohana::PRODUCTION : Kohana::DEVELOPMENT;

*/
Kohana::init(array(
'base_url' => '/',
'index_file' => FALSE,
'profile' => Kohana::$environment !== Kohana::PRODUCTION,
'caching' => Kohana::$environment === Kohana::PRODUCTION,
));
