Hi all, I''m new to this list (and pretty new to backgroundrb). I''d like to jump in with a question, I hope you don''t mind. I''m trying to get my site working with backgroundrb to sent mail. It''s pretty basic stuff and I got it working pretty fast on my local machine (os x leopard). Unfortunately, when I try to deploy to my production machine I get an error when I try to start backgroundrb. I''m not really sure how to debug this issue, I don''t see anything in the log. My production machine is hosted by Slicehost. and is running Ubuntu. I get the following error: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_meta_pimp.rb:48:in `process_request'': undefined method `send_request'' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_meta_pimp.rb:27:in `handle_object'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_meta_pimp.rb:20:in `receive_data'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_parser.rb:29:in `call'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_parser.rb:29:in `extract'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_meta_pimp.rb:18:in `receive_data'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_master.rb:64:in `handle_internal_messages'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:176:in `handle_read_event'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:174:in `each'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:174:in `handle_read_event'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:130:in `start_reactor'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:124:in `loop'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:124:in `start_reactor'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_master.rb:21:in `run'' from /var/www/apps/lego/releases/20080412142415/vendor/plugins/ backgroundrb/server/lib/master_worker.rb:166:in `initialize'' from script/backgroundrb:60:in `new'' from script/backgroundrb:60 /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/packet_nbio.rb: 25:in `read_data'': Packet::DisconnectError (Packet::DisconnectError) from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_worker.rb:46:in `handle_internal_messages'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:176:in `handle_read_event'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:174:in `each'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:174:in `handle_read_event'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:130:in `start_reactor'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:124:in `loop'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_core.rb:124:in `start_reactor'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_worker.rb:20:in `start_worker'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_master.rb:133:in `fork_and_load'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_master.rb:96:in `load_workers'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_master.rb:91:in `each'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_master.rb:91:in `load_workers'' from /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/packet-0.1.5/lib/packet/ packet_master.rb:20:in `run'' from /var/www/apps/lego/releases/20080412142415/vendor/plugins/ backgroundrb/server/lib/master_worker.rb:166:in `initialize'' from script/backgroundrb:60:in `new'' from script/backgroundrb:60
