Deploying to Rackspace

Having trouble deploying to Rackspace servers. Curious if I'm missing something in my config files. I haven;t changed them since I created the app and have been looking everywhere online but can't find a solution.

The secret_key_base is used to securely sign the cookies that Rails creates. It needs to be set to some suitably long, arbitrary String that's different for each Rails deployment and kept secret.

What I usually do to generate a new one is run something like this:

ruby -rsecurerandom -e 'p SecureRandom.hex(32)'

... and then copy and paste that into my secrets.yml, in the section matching the RAILS_ENV:

production:
  secret_key_base: '553e8330b465c2c51789a8f957932e7c8d9144a5e1b93431d2db7b6bd9b681f6'
