[Update] 11/13/2011: Andre Arko has a solution for using New Relic with Pow! that works with Rails 3. Check it out here. This solution worked for Rails 2.3.x.
If you’re using Pow and want New Relic RPM to record data when developing, add the following to your line to the development: section of your newrelic.yml
agent_enabled: true
This Rails only option will make RPM play nicely with Pow by forcing the agent to turn on. Make sure you restart Pow after modifying your yml file. Possible side-effects: RPM might start recording console transactions.
Pow is a server created by 37Signals. New Relic RPM is a service for monitoring servers and noticed that RPM stopped collecting data.

That didn’t work for me, but setting `NEWRELIC_DISPATCHER=pow` did work for me. I wrote up how and why in a blog post: http://andre.arko.net/2011/11/12/use-newrelic-rpm-developer-mode-with-pow/
Andre,
Thanks for the update. At the time, my solution worked.
I’m updating my post to list your findings.
