I'm having a similar problem. My Apache log shows the following error. Passenger doesn't load completely so the rails log isn't written to.
RedCloth 4.1.1 is also installed on the both the production and development environments and shows up in the 'gem list' call. I don't have problems in development (OS X, Apache, passenger) but production is messed. I'm on Ubuntu running Apache and Passenger. I have Rails 2.2 on both development and production environments. #Passenger error on restart Ruby on Rails application could not be started The application has exited during startup (i.e. during the evaluation of config/environment.rb). The error message may have been written to the web server's log file. Please check the web server's log file (i.e. not the (Rails) application's log file) to find out why the application exited. # Apache error log You're running: ruby 1.8.6.286 at /opt/ruby-enterprise-1.8.6-20081215/bin/ruby rubygems 1.3.1 at /home/etandrib/.gem/ruby/1.8, /opt/ruby- enterprise-1.8.6-20081215/lib/ruby/gems/1.8 Run `rake gems:install` to install the missing gems. # environment.rb Rails::Initializer.run do |config| config.gem "RedCloth", :version => ">= 4.1.1", :source => "http:// code.whytheluckystiff.net" end On Jan 14, 7:00 pm, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > Always good to test it in development before moving it to > production. :) Never seen that error myself.
