I need some help! I'm having trouble getting rails working, I'm stuck with a Application error - Rails application failed to start properly"
I tried following Danger's steps here but when I get to chmod -R 0666 log it tells me:
chmod: `log': Permission denied
I have svn setup and deployed with capistrano. I ran rake db:migrate and the dbs were successfully created. I checked the permissions and the she-bang lines. The Welcome to Rails page comes up, but anything else gives the Application Error.
I'm not seeing any logs being generated. Capistrano makes a symlink log that points to a shared directory. Is that what it's supposed to do? No logs are appearing so I don't know what to troubleshoot. I noticed that files in the script directory had rw -r -r permissions, seems like these should be executable right?
I tried running script/console production just to see if it worked and I get this:
/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10:in `require': no such file to load -- readline (LoadError)
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/completion.rb:10
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:252:in `load_modules'
from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb/init.rb:250:in `load_modules'

from /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:54:in `start'
from /usr/local/bin/irb:13
Here are the some of the files involved, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

# You may specify the path to the FastCGI crash log (a log of unhandled
# exceptions which forced the FastCGI instance to exit, great for debugging)
# and the number of requests to process before running garbage collection.
#
# By default, the FastCGI crash log is RAILS_ROOT/log/fastcgi.crash.log
# and the GC period is nil (turned off). A reasonable number of requests
# could range from 10-100 depending on the memory footprint of your app.
#
# Example:
# # Default log path, normal GC behavior.
# RailsFCGIHandler.process!
#
# # Default log path, 50 requests between GC.
# RailsFCGIHandler.process! nil, 50
#
# # Custom log path, normal GC behavior.
# RailsFCGIHandler.process! '/var/log/myapp_fcgi_crash.log'
#
require File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../config/environment"
require 'fcgi_handler'
RailsFCGIHandler.process!
