Running Joomla on Google App Engine

Question

I have joomla running locally on the development environment of Google App Engine, but once I deploy it to GAE I just get this error:

Error displaying the error page: Application Instantiation Error

• Since google claims that the development server is the identical copy of the production environment, how come joomla is not working on GAE?

I've used a couple of days trying to figure out how to debug this, in order to make joomla work, but I could really use some tips for debugging.

• How do you guys debug in the production environment?
• Any of you got joomla 3.2 running on GAE yet?

cheers!
