An internal server error occurred. Please try again later.

Yup - saw that as well....bit of a jump in traffic overwhelmed the server momentarily. Apologies.

You shouldn't be using SQLite for a prod site, it doesn't handle concurrency well, if at all.

Edit: it also seems like you're using WEBrick as web server, again this is not meant for prod. There's plenty of literature on how to serve rails apps in prod. Look it up.

Don't forget that that stack trace shouldn't be visible! In production you should show a standard 500 error w/o the stack trace. Now people can see your codez. Is the server running in development mode or something?

Had our admins make a number of adjustments to the site - these issues have been resolved and the site is responding much better now.

Works for me.
