I know this is a bit of a shot in the dark but I'm in the process of getting a rails powered website setup on a shared hosting account at TextDrive, and running into some troubles. I've set up one other site at Site5, and things went nice and smooth which was perfect since I'm still adjusting to deploying Rails apps (I'm a .NET programmer by day). The following is some environment related info that may be relevant:

$ gem -v
0.9.0
$ ruby -v
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-12-25 patchlevel 12) [i386-freebsd6]
$ rails -v
Rails 1.1.6

I've frozen rails to 1.2.2 which I'm guessing is the source of some of the problems. I've gotten a reply back from the TextDrive support mentioning that I should change the references to "gem" in my boot.rb file to "require_gem", but that didn't have any effect.

Is anyone hosting a Rails site at TextDrive, and if so any idea why I'd get the following:

>rake db:migrate --trace

I appreciate any pointers or insights! :)
