Hi, I just started deploying my app on a Joyent dedicated hosting  
account (mongrel+apache) and i’m getting an error only on the deployed  
app. Where do the errors get logged in this situation?

You gotta ask your ISP about the inevitable maze of config files  
involved.  
Next, a Mongrel forum. And, yes, someone here might know.

Using brute force, I would go for

ls -l `find / -name error\*log 2>/dev/null` | less

then find the most recently modified log file.
