Ruby on Rails: Uploading a modifed site.
- by Califer
I'm having a heck of a time getting a site I modified to work correctly.  I didn't set the site up originally, and since the person that set it up no longer works with me I had to learn ruby just to make some changes.  I made all the changes in the  development server and everything worked fine.  Then I did a diff on the production and development and moved only my changes over.  Unfortunately when I loaded my changes onto the production server I got a lot of errors.
I've changed all of the permissions to 755, which took care being able to access anything at all, but after that I started getting a lot of 500 errors.  Nothing showed up in the production.log file.  I really have no clue what's going wrong except that perhaps things are not noticing the new changes.  I moved the old site to a backup folder, and the new site crashes whenever it goes to anything that I've changed.  In particular, I added a link to a new setup with an extra controller/model/view group.  It works fine on development but in production it gives me a 404.  Yes, I did copy all the files up.
I even put everything back how it was, but the website is still showing the broken version of it.  I checked the tmp/cache folder but it was empty.  Running dispatch.fcgi shows the old site (which I expected) but it still shows the flawed new site when I connect through a browser.
I've been tearing my hair out trying to get this to work.  Any ideas as to how I can get this to work?
