Everything works fine locally but when I deploy I get this:

Errno::ENOENT (No such file or directory - getcwd):

Anyone have an idea?

It's worked before, but for some reason my new changes aren't taking
place and somehow, at the same time, this error came up.

My changes only involve editing the view and routes which is nothing
related to the above.

I'd love some ideas!

Thanks.

Hi, does your rails application work locally in production mode?

For the record, I had the same problem yesterday. I rebooted my server
(a Solaris 10 zone) and that seemed to fix it.

I experienced this issue today, it was caused by the fact that I was
running in a directory that I had removed from another terminal
instance.

Hey, thanks! I was just about to throw the computer through the window. Was
running in a removed directory too.

I expect someone else will do it again in another three or four years.

I was running in a removed dir too.
