we tracked down which request causes the errors. still it needs to be investigated, what the "real" rails problem is. any ideas appreciated. -matthias ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Help @ Joyent <support at joyent.com> Date: Sep 26, 2007 2:45 PM Subject: Update on Your Request {108445} To: parasew at 5uper.net Matthias, that didn''t help, but I think that I positively tracked down the request that always seems to kill the site: http://instiki.org/rss_with_content The headlines RSS is fine.
