Rails application failed to start message happens randomly

Hi,

I have noticed that sometimes when I want to go to my website it takes awhile to respond. Then it displays a white website with "Rails application failed to start". I hit refresh in Firefox and then the site works again with no problems. I have no idea how this problem is triggered.

Also, it appears that my email account does not work anymore. I have sent 2 test emails to my "webmaster" email and I'm not receiving them. I'm not getting any of them returned either.

Thank you,

Are those of any concerns ?

How exactly are you sending emails ?
also - I checked your site which working fine atm and the message above shouldn't be a problem, since they occurs  intermittently on a shared server like Wycliffe where Apache gets loaded up at times. Please contact support if you still have email problem with relevant account details.

I sent emails through my "Contact Us" form  on my site (it worked before) and directly to the email address from my email client. I have not received any of them.

I'm alos just wondering why sometimes I get a "Rails application could not start" when I get to my website. However, after a refresh it works just fine.

Nick, I just sent a test email from your contact form and could see it got delivered rightaway into your Webmaster account. ould you login to it and verify the email present there ?
Also - let us know when you get "Rails application could not start"  time again as I've not been able to replicate the error yet.
