Application error

[Jay Fallon]

I've managed to deploy a sinatra app to Rackspace, but I get
"Application error" when I restart the server. I've googled everywhere
but cannot seem to find a solution.

My setup is:

http://github.com/zapnap/retweet
Apache2
Passenger 2.2.5
Sinatra 0.9.4

I was able to see the app running after rackup config.ru, but now that
has gone to "Application error" as well.

Is there a config issue I should be aware of or has anyone had a
similar problem?

Thanks.

Same issue on Heroku as well: Application Error

What do you see in the apache/passenger logs?

This is what I get in /log/sinatra.log even after I ran rake
db:migrate. Is this a DataObjects issue?

Apparently I'm still in dev mode so I can only write tothe dev
database. Is there any way to change to production?

Are you explicitly setting dev mode anywhere as passenger should be defaulting the RACK_ENV to production?

You should be able to override this if you need to by using the following somewhere in your app before you actually do anything preferably:

ENV["RACK_ENV"] = "production"

But you should try to figure out why the RACK_ENV isn't already production too.
