Aaron, thanks for the suggestions. This is happening on any page
I try to hit. When I run "ruby script/server -e production" - it
runs fine on port 3000 of my host. The data is there... and the
site works fine. I'm not sure why it wouldn't find it when
running via fastCGI.

Did you upload your data in addition to your app?
The error suggests that you are calling nil.downcase
With any debugging the real question is "What assumption have
you made that hasn't been fulfilled?"
In this case, i will assume that you meant to call downcase on
a string. However, your variable is not a string, it's nil.
Common reasons for this: no records found in an ActiveRecord
find() statement, empty value in your DB row, et cetera.
Techniques for tracking it down:
use script/console on the server, then go through and
approximate what should be happening during that request at
the command line, checking your variable's state as you go
through.
Alternately, you can put in logger.info() calls which will log
in production if it is only happening in prod.
Also, check out breakpointer.
Personally, I prefer the console.

OK. I will try to make a long story short. I took on a

(Crooked Fingers, Archers of Loaf, and now a solo record). I
wanted to do it in Rails for fun, and because of quick and
simple content management I could throw together with little
more than scaffolding. Got it all working locally on my
machines. Recommended Site5 to them for hosting, got it
loaded up there. Followed the instructions for deployment on

I continue to get
Bad Request
Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
The production log tells me
undefined *method* '*downcase *' for nil:NilClass
I can provide the whole stack trace if anyone's interested. I
had been getting some support from Site5, but they seem to
have stopped responding, even to a newly entered ticket with
"urgent" status (submitted last night). They seemed to think
it had to do with different versions of rails, so I froze my
gems and uploaded them and am still having issues. If I run
webrick via SSH I can connect on port 3000, so this seems to
be an apache/fastcgi issue.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
Brian
