Like most people, I've got two machines: one for development and one for production. I've done everything I can to make sure the ruby/rails environments are the same, but of course they're not identical (I'll get into that in a moment). The error that I'm getting happens when I call a method in a background task controller on the production machine; I have tried running the command on the production instance itself as well as a development instance checked out from source control (so running in the development Rails environment, but on the production box). Here's what I'm seeing:

Here are the things that I know are the same on both machines: - Rails has been frozen in vendor/ at version 2.1.0 - In vendor/plugins I have two plugins, facebooker and mysql_bigint - I've got the following gems in vendor/gems: mbleigh-acts-as-taggable- on-1.0.2 and mislav-will_paginate-2.3.4 - Both machines have RubyGems 1.3.0 - Both machines are running MacOS X 10.5.5 with the latest security updates.
Here are the things I know are different on the machines: - Hardware - production: mac mini, dual core Intel - development: macbook pro, dual core Intel
- Ruby 1.8.6 patch level: - production: ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [universal- darwin9.0] - development: ruby 1.8.6 (2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i686- darwin9.0.0]

That's all the differences I'm aware of. I have no idea what the conflict is here, but if anyone can suggest another place to look for Things That I Can Change, please let me know. If anyone's had (and fixed) this issue before I'd love to know how!
Thank you!
Mark
