Rails app moved to production server gives “dump format error for symbol” error

Question

I\'ve just moved my rails app from the development to deployment server. I\'ve installed passenger, but I wanted to try with rails s to make sure all was running fi

Answer 1

Change an asset from new.js to new.js.coffee and received this error when trying to render a view which was trying to render new.js:

ActionView::Template::Error (dump format error for symbol(0x6d))

I figured it was something related to the tmp files (thanks to the comments in this thread). I ran:

bundle exec rake tmp:clear

And I was good to go!
