Hi Anonymous Guest - Are you familiar with upgrading a Rails App to a newer version? Here's a couple things you usually need to do:

1 - Upgrade environment.rb,change the line:
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.0.2' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
to:
RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.2.2' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION
2 - You'll also probably have to run: 'rake rails:update' from the command line. You might have to do more(usually not), depending on your shared host.

In a shared hosting environment, I like to freeze my applications(this save a version of rails that you're using in your app) so when the server is upgraded, my applications don't break. Here's a good page on how to freeze rails/gems: http://support.tigertech.net/freeze-rails Let me know if you have any more questions. Have a good one -

Dave,

Thanks for getting back. Success! I just re-raked...I was waiting for guidance on that questions, that was the problem. Amethyst is back up.

I had changed the version line in environment.rb, but then it errored out at environment, and that's where I got stuck. It needed the rake.

I would indeed have frozen my app if I'd known that the upgrade was coming.

Thanks again!
