[Ruby] Server Inconsistencies

[Jordan Isip]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the reply.  Do you know how/where I can find the creating/setting exceptions (on the production server)?  When I look at the trace on the exception in the logs that I receive, the only line that pertains to any code that I've written is the ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass). 

Thanks again!
Jordan

That's the line where you're printing it... I suspect the lines where
 you're
creating it and setting it are more interesting with regard to
troubleshooting this problem.
