This has been a really intense afternoon. I got Mephisto up and running on a new CentOS 4.4 box I installed on our Virtual Server today. Well, sort of.

The admin tool worked great, no issues at all. But the front end did not have a default page. If I went to preview a post in the admin tool it would drop the content out, but the styles weren’t applied. After trying numerous different things, I changed the RailsENV from production to development. Boom. It worked. Huh?

I still can’t figure out why, but rails wasn’t handling the requests properly. It should have rerouted them to the theme directory, but it didn’t.

Has anyone seen this before?
