Hello All,
Several of my Rails apps on a server broke all at once. Specifically,
any forms that POST no longer work; NULL values are being submitted
instead of the form parameters. I've checked with Firebug that the
forms themselves are sending the values but the "create" action in all
my controllers does not seem to be picking up the form values. I was
hoping somebody could help me troubleshoot. These apps were all
working at some point but just broke all of a sudden. I've asked my
hosting provider if they changed anything but they claim no. Below
are my environment details as well as model, view, controller and
relevant development.log entries.
I appreciate any help!
