Dear board, I am running a fork of a quite large Rails 2.3.5 app (lots
of plugins etc.). It has worked before and I know it works on my
colleague’s machine. I’m not sure where to begin troubleshooting this
though (I can’t find much good Rails troubleshooting material
anywhere!). Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
Browser output:
