Hi folks. I have an app that’s running on one host that I’m attempting  
to deploy to a different host.

The stack is set up, as the generic rails index page comes up  
successfully. Accessing any of my rails controllers fails, though.  
Running script/console brings this error:  
Loading development environment.  
/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionwebservice-1.2.1/lib/action\_web\_service/contai  
ner/action\_controller\_container.rb:74:in  
`require\_web\_service\_api’:NameError: ne ither  
ApplicationApi or ApplicationAPI found

It’s not a code issue, as the app is running elsewhere. Any hints on  
tracking down the problem?

Thanks much

Problem solved – my code’s written for 1.1.6 and gem install rails  
loaded up the new 1.2.1.

I’m guessing there’s some work needed to upgrade – for now I downgraded  
my rails install to 1.1.6 and the app runs fine.

I to am having some issuse with upgrading from 1.1.6 to 1.2.1. I  
suspect that some of the files that rails creates initially are  
different?

Does anyone have a link detailing what must be done inside the app  
directory to upgrade?

I’ve seen comments elsewhere that it might be related to using engine  
plugins; haven’t had a chance to explore that.
