I am new to RoR and I am experiencing the 500 server error for a long time without success.
I need someone tell me (or link to) how to debug RoR apps from the shell.
My application is redmine and I am trying to host it at hostmonster who tuns rails version 2.3.8
The first thing you should do is look in your log/production.log file in your live app directory. That will contain all the relevant details about your error.
There are certain – very useful – plugins (exception_notification for example) which will email details about errors to you as they occur.
