I just deployed my application on MediaTemple.

I get the following error and I am not sure what is wrong.

Processing ApplicationController#editor (for 68.147.211.95 at 2007-04-26  
18:38:40) [GET]  
Session ID: df1f7ec620eb87f057857c520c58851f  
Parameters: {“action”=\>“editor”, “controller”=\>“workspace”}

NameError (uninitialized constant WorkspaceController):

Any ideas? My main controller is called WorkspaceController.

Thanks

David

Have a look at the production.log , may be you can get some information.  
Or start the server on local with webrick , it will show you more  
information on console than mongrel.

or you misspelled  
url\_for :action=\>‘xxxx’,:controller =\> ‘workspacecontroller’  
but it should be  
url\_for :action=\>‘xxxx’,:controller =\> ‘workspace’  
i suppose.

My code works perfectly on windows / mongrel. The moment I deploy it I  
get the messages posted above…
