Rails application failed to start properly

rubyonrails-talk

Hello,

i'm a newbie on RoR. I generated a first little application and tested it under webrick - it worked.

Now i uploaded it to the providers host (tibit) and configured everything on the server.

But when i call my application, i get only a

Application error Rails application failed to start properly

and i do not find any message in any logfile.

Do you have a tip for me, where to search?

Thanks, aahz

Aahz, Make sure that your log directory & associated logs are writable (probably should also add a .htaccess to prevent anyone from seeing/ modifying as well). Also check your server's standard logs...I found on my host that rails raised the logging level to stderr which ended up in an error log, but your host probably is different.

Several things to other things to check are the permissions on your dispatch method (.cgi, .rb, .fcgi) and ensure they are 755. -Dale
