I have an Ajax request from a form

it executes well in dev n locahost… (mongrel) and on local Apache  
server ([http://aelmat.local](http://aelmat.local))  
but it’s not executing when running on remote host server

what could be the issue ? where should I look for ?

In what way is it not working ? (the response contains an error, the  
request is garbled, the request never makes it to rails, it never  
makes a request at all, etc. )

sorry, Fred , I was a little bit lost  
I have 2 ajax forms almost identical, one is running well , not the  
second one…and I was looking into the wrong development log…  
(deployment is sometimes a little bit confusing, even with Capistrano  
( different settings… staging, production, … )

finally I got the right log… & discover the error … a "  
scoped\_by\_ " =\> used in 2.3.2 locally …  
my ‘staging’ environment.rb was still using 2.2.2 !!

thanks for asking questions that make me thinking a little bit  
more …
