Passenger Phusion error when starting up Rails App

Last night I worked a lot on my webapp and went to bed with it working. Today I woke up and tried to access the webpage from a different computer and encountered the following problem:

Ruby (Rack) application could not be started

Error message:
    undefined local variable or method `config' for main:Object
Exception class:
  NameError

Backtrace:

Contents of setup_mail.rb

config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
config.action_mailer.smtp_settings = {
  :address              => "localhost",
  :port                 => 25,
  :domain               => 'mydomain.com',
  :openssl_verify_mode  => 'none',
  :tls                  => false,
  :enable_starttls_auto => false

}

Can someone tell me how to go about troubleshooting this issue? When I make a change to any files do I need to restart passenger or nginx or my rails app? The error message is too cryptic to know where to look for the problem. Thank you for your help! :)

You are trying to access your application's configuration object outside the proper context. Try wrapping your code like this:

AppName::Application.configure do
  config.action_mailer.delivery_method = :smtp
  # etc ...
end

Or replace each config with AppName::Application.config.
