Agnieszka,

Thank you for your response.  I looked at the sites you provided and it
seemed like that information was relevant to the "Rails application
failed to start properly" error.

I may have been unclear, but my application is running.  The home page
is merely a single text field and submit button.  When a user enters
their email address and hits "Submit," their information is recorded
into the database.

The error I am seeing is "Application error (Rails)" when I try to log
into the password-protected administrative section of the web site.
