I'm relatively new to rails apps, but I've got a rails app thats working locally that I'm trying to deploy to a shared hosting server on DreamHost. I've followed all the wiki's and stackoverflow questions, but an answer for this is still eluding me.
I'm deploying with Capistrano, and I've worked out all the issues to get successful deployments working. However, when I go to access anything that is not a static resource on the site, I am greeted with a 'internal server error' and this error from Passenger:
Internal server error
Passenger encountered the following error:
The application spawner server exited unexpectedly: Unexpected end-of-file detected.
Exception class:
PhusionPassenger::Rack::ApplicationSpawner::Error
Backtrace:

I can SSH into the server and manually run 'rails s' to get a server running on port 3000, and everything there works great.
Here's my environment.rb:
# Load the rails application
require File.expand_path('../application', __FILE__)
# Initialize the rails application
LoLItemDb::Application.initialize!
# potential fix for Dreamhost shared resources

Most posts seem to suggest the path to gems is incorrect, but I've made every configuration change I can find by searching Google and documentation from Dreamhost. Any help is greatly appreciated!
