Oi, I don't understand why this works but this is what seems to be happening..

I had 503 errors on all my Mephisto sites and the solution to fixing that appears to be to set the RAILS_GEM_VERSION to 1.2.3 and then do

rake rails:update

I found that just setting the gem version didn't work.

This fixes the 503 errors and gets the site working. Unfortunately there is an intermittent 500 error that then occurs the first time you try to load a dynamic page. The error goes away on refresh.

The solution? Apparently the rails:update command changes application.rb to application_controller.rb. I just renamed it back and now I have no 503 and no 500...

I understand why renaming the file fixes the 500 error. I don't understand why I have to do rake rails:update to fix the 503 error.

At least it works!
