I recently upgraded my application from Rails version 2.1.2 to version 2.2.2. It was tested in on development and on my staging system. When I moved to production it fails to load all the way through the environment.rb file. (Why, oh why, is it always on production!?!)
Below is my environment.rb file
# Be sure to restart your web server when you modify this file.
# Uncomment below to force Rails into production mode when
# you don't control web/app server and can't set it the proper way
# ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'

RAILS_GEM_VERSION = '2.2.2' unless defined? RAILS_GEM_VERSION

If I set the rails gem to be used to version 2.1.2 everything loads and all the puts statements print as expected. When I change the gem version to 2.2.2 the last statement that I see printed is "setting smtp settings".
When I move the Rails::Initializer do |config| section to the bottom it fails in ways worse than where it is right now.
The ruby version that is loaded on the system is Ruby 1.8.6 patchlevel 111. It is running on RHEL5-64bit.
I'm stumped. Ideas? Suggestions?
