[OSM-talk] Recent API outage

[Nick Hill]

Following package changes/upgrades on the API server (known as www) a series of 
problems with API came about.

I reverted all packages I could find related to the API back, but the API is 
still not functioning.

I have verified that auth is working again, as is database connectivity to the 
OSM database from www.

I am seeing logged errors like:

[Mon Apr 16 11:00:57 2007] [error] mod_ruby: error in ruby

It seems as if each_hash method is failing on the database object. However, 
separate scripts verify database connectivity, and relevant files as far as I 
know have been reverted.

Any rubyists able to help me debug this are welcome.


Thanks


Nick.
