[Locomotive-users] Odd deployment issue from Loco -> DreamHost

[Paul Welty]

Just to close this thread on a positive note....

I finally (after weeks) got a reply on the main Rails list. Jeremy Kemper
said:

Try serializing a Hash instead of a HashWithIndifferentAccess.
Then you'll get compatible YAML across Syck versions.

This solves the problem. Who knew?

Anyway, I wanted to post it here in case it helps someone else.

-P
