Hi,
I get 500.html error, and have done everything: .htaccess, give all
permissions, etc. It neither works on webrick (locally), nor on Apache
(on http). (The public/index.html shows up, but if I go to any pages in
the controller, it does not.)
Maybe it is the problem of different configuration of rails I am
having…
=========================================================
Here is part of config/environment.rb:
# Be sure to restart your web server when you modify this file.
# Uncomment below to force Rails into production mode when
# you don’t control web/app server and can’t set it the proper way
ENV[‘RAILS\_ENV’] ||= ‘production’
# Specifies gem version of Rails to use when vendor/rails is not present
RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION = ‘1.2.3’ unless defined? RAILS\_GEM\_VERSION
Here is the log file form production.log (using webrick):
