Rails - Apr 2005 - "Rails application failed to start properly" <-- is there a way to debug this?

Here were my steps:
1. Set up ruby.gauldong.net
2. cvs co ruby <-- checked out the latest bleeding CVS ruby 1.9
3. autoconf
4. ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local 
5. make
6. make install
7. downloaded RubyGems
8. ruby setup.rb all --prefix=$HOME/local
9. gem install rails
10. rails rails
11. ln -s absolute/path/to/newly/created/rails/public web <-- specific
to this webhosting
12. http://ruby.gauldong.net

Results:

Application error
Rails application failed to start properly"

:-(

Is there a way (a checklist) to check what has gone wrong...?

Try running your app under Webrick and see what error message you get
in the console, it will be more informative.

I was having this same problem last week, and I think it was because
of some session files.  Do a
rm /tmp/ruby_sess.*

to clear them out, it might help you.  I''m not sure that''s it,
but I
think that was what was causing that error for me.

Logs?
Also I''m not sure if rails works with cvs ruby - it didn''t
when I
tried it a while ago (at least 6 months).

Yes... I also thought this is the problem. I''m using CVS so
it''ll be
easy for me to upgrade Ruby by just cvs update-ing, then rebuilding
ruby etc. since there''s no such thing as "gem install ruby"
;-)

Anyways, does anybody know what is the naming convention for Ruby''s
CVS to get a specific Ruby revision (-r) ? I''m not very familiar with
CVS, I also don''t know if there''s a way to "list CVS
revision tags"...
But I guess it''s there somewhere. The Ruby''s CVS repository
guide
doesn''t mention anything about checking out a specific Ruby
revision...

Huh? Thanks! ;-) It''s kinda'' amusing I didn''t think
of that....
but..., is it really the only way of listing CVS revision tags? ;-)

Perhaps wrong mailing list...... :-P

Rails doesn''t work on CVS trunk ruby. Not much does actually, trunk is
in a lot of flux lately. I''d go for 1.8.2 release tar.gz
