Like I said, my app suddenly stoped working in the last few minutes.  
I’m on dreamhost but I’m running rdge rails locked in on the 1.1  
release.

Has anything changed with permissions or something with the  
production.log file. It seems that it’s looking for that file and it’s  
not there and not creating it. Another thought, complete stab in the  
dark is checking enviroment.rb to see if something concerning logging  
occured.

I’m assuming this problem is solely because logging stopped working.

It must of been a dreamhost issue because the app started working again  
without my intervention.
