Hi

I’m not sure about your specific problem but have you checked that your  
rails app is able to connect to the database/server? try this from  
script/console:

ActiveRecord::Base.connection

if that doesn’t raise any exceptions then the connection’s OK

It could also be an ActionMailer error. Try Saravanan’s suggestion,  
and if you’re still getting an error, paste the whole trace. It might  
also be helpful to see your config/environment.rb contents. You could  
try setting this in the Rails::Initializer.run do |config| block:

config.action\_mailer.raise\_delivery\_errors = false

You might also need this in your environments/#{env}.rb files. Then  
again, you do want to know about delivery errors at this point, don’t  
you?
