Trying to deploy my first rails app

Question

I'm trying to deploy my first rails app to my mediatemple (dv) VPS server. I'm using passenger and i've got that installed, created a project on my server, copied the files from my local project to my server, created the db and ran rake db:migrate and rake db:seed.

When i ping my url, I get an internal server error.

Here's a snippet from my log file. Any help is appreciated in getting my first rails app deployed.
