Cache_classes = true causes application to fail

Rails
1

Hi,

I am using rails 2.3.2, apache 2.2, active scaffold, and mongel. I
was caught by surprise when an application that was working started to
fail. Digging into things showed that the error occurred when
cache_classes = true (even though it worked this way before, setting
cache_class to false now fixed the problem). Naturally, this is not
an actual fix for a production application, as it has slowed way
down. I have seen in other posts that people had problems with
running rake in production with active scaffold, but have not seen
others with this problem, where the web server fails to start. Does
anyone know any more information about cache_classes? Since it seems
to work then the code keeps getting reloaded, is it possible that I
need to manually clear this cache somewhere? Could this problem be
related to Active Scaffold? Thank you for any information!

cache_class=true means (among other things) that code gets loaded up
front when the application starts.
