Phusion Passenger and the Rails OpenID plugin

[Hongli Lai]

Today I ran into a problem related to the Rails OpenID plugin. Upon
logging in with OpenID, I get an error backtrace that looks like this:

IOError (closed stream):
(eval):3:in `write'
/opt/r8ee/lib/ruby/1.8/logger.rb:504:in `write'
/opt/r8ee/lib/ruby/1.8/monitor.rb:242:in `synchronize'
/opt/r8ee/lib/ruby/1.8/logger.rb:496:in `write'

...

This turns out to be a logger problem. Add this to your environment.rb
and it'll be solved:

OpenID::Util.logger = RAILS_DEFAULT_LOGGER
