500 error, no log files

Hello,

A rails app that had been running smoothly for 2 months is suddenly giving a 500 error. Unfortunately the production.log is not being written to (the permissions seem to be fine) and the mongrel.log doesn't offer any clues. I'm on a media temple GS for this particular app. Any ideas?

I've done a lot of googling but can't seem to find anything.

Your host probably updated either Ruby, Rails or one of the gems you are using, making your app break. Bundler (http://github.com/wycats/bundler) is really nice to freeze gems into your app.
