show.html.erb rendering as plain text mime time

I am brand spankin new to ruby and rails. I've gone through the rails for zombies tutorial and a couple others.

I generated a default rails app using the tools on my web host.

I got rails wired to a database and am able to display a page with values from it.

From all my searching I believe that just naming my view files *.html.erb should be enough to make them render with a mime type for html.

The problem is the page shows up with a Content-Type: text/plain.

Here's what I have

config/routes.rb

ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  map.resources :enrollapplications
end

app/controllers/application_controller.rb

class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
  helper :all # include all helpers, all the time
  protect_from_forgery # See ActionController::RequestForgeryProtection for details
end

app/controllers/enrollapplications_controller.rb

class EnrollapplicationsController < ApplicationController
  def show
    @enrollapp = Enrollapplication.find(params[:id])
  end
end

app/views/layouts/application.html.erb

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
        "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Enrollment Application</title>
  <%= csrf_meta_tag %>
 </head>
 <body>
   <%= yield %>   
 </body>
</html>

app/views/enrollapplications/show.html.erb

   <h3>show stuff</h3>

   <h1><%= @enrollapp.firstName %></h1>

curl -I example.com/Application/enrollapplications/1

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2013 17:37:36 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain

Feel free to point and laugh at my mistakes.

The Linux admin for my host said they are running a version of Mongrel where this is a known bug.

He put a newer version of mongrel.rb in my /config/initializers and that solved the problem.
