Jason, Thank you for your reply which has been most helpful Quickly, an update on where I am now:
Passenger seems to be loading all of gems, but is still failing to start for the following reason. The 'index' action in 'home_controller.rb' references the Profile model when it calls 'check_featured' from 'application.rb'. For some reason, I'm getting a 'const_missing' error the logs which refers to the Profile model (app/model/profile.rb). Also, I'm wondering if it would be simpler to temporarily deploy/run using fastcgi and Rails 2.1 on a different host or freeze Rails 2.1 in the vendor directory or continue to hammer away at the deploy using Rails 2.0.2/Passenger that is currently available to me at Dreamhost. They've promised to have Rails 2.1 by the end of the week, but it's only Monday and I need to get something working soon. Lastly, a search of the archive and of web in general shows a few different ways to run ferret_server. Is there a recommended way to start ferret_server, for example, via config/environment.rb? Thanks again for taking the time to offer some advice.
