Merb-Passenger error: "uninitialized constant Passenger::Railz::ApplicationSpawner::ActionController"

[Nilez Parker]

uninitialized constant
Passenger::Railz::ApplicationSpawner::ActionController

in .../passenger/railz/application_spawner.rb, line 255, in
`preload_application`


This is at DreamHost, by the way.

It seems odd that it's hitting a requirement for Rails constants - is
there something I should be doing that makes it skirt around this?

[Daniel Parker]

I've figured it out. Dreamhost, upon any application load error, "nicely" suggests that it happened while evaluating environment.rb. However, when you're not using Rails, that isn't the case. I had assumed Passenger wanted a config/environment.rb file to exist, so I created one. That's what put it in Rails mode.
