I was ignorantly happily letting my gems be pulled in automatically on my previous
server using Nginx + Mongrel_Cluster and this seemed to pose no problems.
BUT! when I switched to a new host, I went with an Apache + Passenger (mod_rails) setup and my servers would start but would just offer "Error 500".
I checked the logs and it seemed that it wasn't loading RedCloth so I added the following to my environment.rb file and it all worked fine!
In config/environment.rb:
require 'rubygems'
require 'redcloth'
