James,

You may want to check your web server logs in order to get more information than the “500 Internal Server Error” message. This doesn’t seem like a problem caused by your use of a VM.

This is great thank you so much for this tutorial I have been searching every where for it. You have saved my life.

However my VM is producing some weird results. I’m running:

Host Machine: Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.5.6
VirtualBox 3.2.0
Guest: Windows XP

one of my sites work dev.curo-consulting.com
but dev.cereno.co.uk isn’t working it tells me that there is a 500 Internal Server error.

Even after a server reboot.

My hosts file looks like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost

192.168.56.1 dev.cereno.co.uk dev.curo-consulting.com

Have you ever experienced this?

I did have it like this as well:

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.56.1 dev.cereno.co.uk
192.168.56.1 dev.curo-consulting.com

But that didn’t work either

Any Ideas?

I’ve updated my post – the “pg” gem is the most current of the PostgreSQL gems.

Pete, thank you for taking the time to figure this out and post it up. This saved me a bunch of time and stress in the midst of an important project push. I appreciate it.
