Hi, first at all sorry if my english is not the best.  
I write this topic because we have a problem with ar\_sendmail after  
install googlecharts gem.

In our server, if I comment this line in enviorenment.rb:  
#require ‘gchart’

and I execute in console :  
ar\_sendmail

it works perfecly. But the problem begins when I uncoment the line in  
enviorenment require ‘gchart’. If I execute ar\_sendmail in console this  
is tehe result:

ar\_sendmail must be run from a Rails application’s root to deliver  
email.  
/var/www/vhosts/xxxx.net/releases/20090715065324 does not appear to be a  
Rails application root.

Usage: ar\_sendmail [options]

ar\_sendmail scans the email table for new messages and sends them to the  
website’s configured SMTP host.

ar\_sendmail must be run from a Rails application’s root.

Sendmail options:  
-b, --batch-size BATCH\_SIZE Maximum number of emails to send  
per delay  
Default: Deliver all available  
emails  
–delay DELAY Delay between checks for new mail  
in the database  
Default: 60  
.  
.  
.

I’m trying to investigate this lines with google:  
ar\_sendmail must be run from a Rails application’s root to deliver  
email.  
/var/www/vhosts/xxxx.net/releases/20090715065324 does not appear to be a  
Rails application root.

but there is not so much information.

Someone can help me please?
