Hi there, make sure the production.log is chmod 666 - if you're still having trouble contact support.  This error usually means a database.yml issue if not a problem with your code.  

Cheers,

Thx, William. I tried what you suggested and it did not seem to work. Nevertheless, I gave up and logged on the next day. My site was magically up and running with no issues. This to me seems like a cache issue -- it was showing me a cached error page and not reflecting any of my changes when I was troubleshooting. What are your thoughts?

Also, I read about FastCGI caching and tried the "killall -usr1 dispatch.fcgi" command and it gives me the following message:
dispatch.fcgi(12788): Operation not permitted

Any ideas?

Pls disregard. I finally started getting log info again and I traced it to an issue with my acts_as_rateable plugin. I went through my app file for file and there are no differences between the my production app and my dev app. I also re-installed acts_as_rateable. I am running on windows and I'm wondering if this would be an issue between the different environments.

Besides shebang lines and permissions issues, there shouldn't be much difference between the two environments, assuming the same gems (i.e. Rails, too) are the same versions...

Cheers,
