Hello,
I'm running the Mephisto blog under rails. A while ago a wrote a little script to bulk load image assets outside of the rails environment (in order to avoid having the process sniper kill my web server process while it's uploading and resizing a bunch of large photos.) I haven't run it since Dec 27th, 2007, at which point it worked, but it no longer does. At the suggestion of customer support, I ran 'rake rails:freeze:edge TAG=rel_1-2-6' to no avail.
The exact error is when I try to 'require' the 'config/environment' script to get all the rails-y goodness outside of rails:
$ ~/bin/load_image_assets.rb <site>

Google didn't have much on the topic, but I did find one post suggesting this was due to not having actionwebservice, which I have installed (and the system also has installed at the latest rev), but regardless, I tried updating my copy, but the gems update always gets killed by the system.
Any suggestions?
