Hi all,

This problem is driving me crazy. I have re-uploaded my rails  
application from localhost to the server, and rails refuses to start.  
The plugin “localization” seems to be the problem.  
However, it works on localhost, and it is successfulle installed on the  
server (it worked before). I really need some help here ☹

My “development.log” says:  
no such file to load – localization

I found the error! The reason the server wouldn’t start was that I have  
the “Debugger” gem installed on localhost, but not on the server.  
Deleting all references to debugger in my enviroment.rb solved it!

Thanks to the error message “no such file to load – localization” for  
sending me off on a 4 hour wild goose chase! Grrr.
