Problems running Ruby on Rails apps on shared hosted server
- by Evgeny
I have problems installing any Ruby On Rails app on my shared hosted server. Mongrel shows html as plain text for all pages. The problem occurs for any app, even if I create a test empty app and add a scaffolded view without changing anything.
It appears that the Mongrel crashes when trying to put cookies to the response header. The HTTP header looks incomplete, the Content-type and other parameters are missing:
curl 127.0.0.1:12002/users -I
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: Wed, 26 May 2010 09:46:50 GMT
Content-Length: 0
Here is the output from mongrel.log
Error calling Dispatcher.dispatch #<NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn't expect it!
You might have expected an instance of ActiveRecord::Base.
The error occurred while evaluating nil.[]>

Here is the link to the test page.
Has anyone seen anything like this?
