Rails - Dec 2005 - Blank pages, ''missing default helper path rails_info_helper''

Environment:
* OS X 10.4.3
* Ruby 1.8.2 (2004-12-25) [powerpc-darwin8.0]
* Rails (1.0.0, 0.13.1)
* WEBrick 1.3.1
* Following the wiki directions, I did the OSX fixrbconfig thing, 
installed Rails, MySQL, etc..

Please bear with me, I''m new to Rails.

I successfully followed the ''depot'' application from the Agile
Web
Development with Rails book, building it piece by piece with no 
problems.

I then went to start a new Rails project in a clean empty directory 
using the command ''rails testing'' without problems. When I
started the
server, I could access the default index page, but nothing else would 
work. Not even the "About your application''s environment
link" on the
index page.

Worse, any page I accessed besides the default index page results in no 
data/blank page, and WEBrick entry that looks like:

<code>127.0.0.1 - - [28/Dec/2005:23:00:46 EST] "GET /aaa
HTTP/1.1" 500
0</code>

That happens no matter which URL I access, including a controller/action 
I built, a controller that doesn''t exist, and like I mentioned, the 
/rails_info/properties that''s called on the "About your
application''s
environment link."

I''ve tried deleting my Rails project, recreating it, creating some 
controllers, scaffolding, etc.. tried copying my working 
config/databases.yml to config/, etc. Absolutely no difference.

And yet if I go back to my depot directory and start the server, that 
one still works perfectly.

I haven''t changed anything since I first built the depot app a few days
ago. I can''t think of what''s going on. Any ideas? I''m
dying to build
more stuff.

Oops, assumed Textile formatting.

One thing I forgot to mention. The only logged error I do see is this 
one when trying to access in environment-link on the default index page:

Controllers::RailsInfoController: missing default helper path 
rails_info_helper

No other errors get logged. I even tried to add a controller with a 
corresponding action that did logger.error("testing"), but that
didn''t
get logged.

Weird, huh?

Never mind. Found this in today''s IRC log:

[06:41] <purestorm_> Does anyone have an idea why webrick is launching 
RoR with 1.0 rails? I''m trying to access http://127.0.0.1:3000/foobar
on
a fresh rails application (read: foobar is not valid) and I get blank 
pages. I''m on Os X and have ruby 1.8.2
...
[06:44] <purestorm_> I removed /tmp/ruby_sess*
[06:44] <purestorm_> and it works ... strange

Hi,

Maybe try clearing the sessions?  `rm /tmp/ruby_sess*`

-r
