Browsing to my apps home page times out, and nothing is rendered.  
However, running the dispatch.rb file via ssh does correctly return  
the code for the home page.

The log file is updated when I hit dispatch, but not when I browse and  
get the timeout. I’m upgrading to 2.0 on Dreamhost, and have the  
1.99.0 gem installed in a custom dir. Everything runs fine locally  
with the same configuration. There were no warnings when I was at  
1.2.5. Also, I’ve tried both .rhtml and .html.erb as the file  
extensions.

I think gems are set correctly -  
export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"  
export GEM\_HOME="$HOME/gems"  
export RUBYLIB="$HOME/lib/ruby:$HOME/lib/site\_ruby/1.8"  
export GEM\_PATH="$HOME/gems/gems:/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8"  
export PATH="$HOME/gems/bin:$PATH"

Any ideas why nothing renders?

Thanks all
