Getting a 500 internal server error on rails app (heroku log posted)

Update I solved it. There were some issues with the if statements in the code

Everything works fine locally but I'm not sure why I'm getting errors

I have my rails app and I'm trying to access URL "/users/username" such as tbrown for example. Is it caused just by the undefined method "admin" or something else? Admin_user is already defined in my application_controller.rb and I have a admin_user.rb model. Post here are the heroku logs and the controller

The problem is in your app/views/posts/_post.html.erb view on line:

<% if current_user.admin? %>

This assumes that current_user is not nil (i.e. a user is logged in). You are already defensively coding around that problem in your controller admin_user? method. It might be better to implement a helper method along the same lines (but without the redirect) and call that from your view instead.
