Comment on Deploying Sinatra on DreamHost - Internal Server Error with views (RESOLVED!) by Sean

@Aaron — I just had the same issue with my first attempt to deploy a test Sinatra app on Dreamhost; even my test app was having problems with haml. I was able to fix it by vendoring haml (run ‘gem unpack haml’; upload the results to your webroot/vendor/, and use ‘require “vendor/haml-x.x.x/lib/haml.rb”‘ instead of just ‘require “haml”‘).

Thanks!
My issue was with haml. For some reason erb works as expected but haml fails.
I was having problems still even with the change in the config.ru :view variable.
I am really still not so sure on my app path situation, this is my first ruby app.
but anyway, your first solution worked for me.

self[method] if has_key? method
end
end

To unify methods of Object and Hash. Now they both treated in one way.

I like Ctrl-L more than “clear” (but I think this only works in Mac and Linux)

You are still a good writer, but you shouldn’t be such a recluse.

This same thing happened to me, except when I finally clicked the link in the email and found out about their wonderful offer, I gave up.

Isn’t there anyone on this planet who has written a sit decompression utility other than the cockroaches at Smith Micro?
