Hi what could be the reasen, that I only can start the mongrel or the thin server if i set the envirement on development? On development -\> everything works fine.

There is no “end” to much. And i only changed the server, it works on the other one. The only thing is that i have a new version of rails now. I have already replaced the old config files with those from a new rails project. any ideas? greetings Andi ---

In production mode in rails 2.2 all application classes are loaded up front (and so a syntax error in any of them will stop the server starting, whereas in previous versions you would only hit that error when you caused that file to be loaded.
