Rails 3 apps are booting and running fine. Anyone have any ideas on what the error is and how we can fix it?

For some environment information – we’re using Phusion Passenger 3.0.8, Nginx and REE 1.8.7.

    Upgrading your application to 2.3.12 may address some of the compatibility problems you’re experiencing with a newer version of Ruby. The maintenance releases generally keep on top of these things.
