Using Memcached

I wrote a fairly complete HOWTO on installing memcached and
getting it working with Ruby-on-Rails apps in FreeBSD, and
thus Typo:
http://fak3r.com/articles/2006/05/11/s
peed-up-ruby-on-rails-with-memcached

Then today I read that I could get more speed using a new
Ruby memcached client:

"A few days ago Eric Hodel announced the availability
of a new pure Ruby memcached client implementation
(memcache-client-1.0.3) with performance improvements over
the older Ruby-Memcache-0.4 implementation." 
http://railsexp
ress.de/blog/articles/2006/01/24/using-memcached-for-ruby-on
-rails-session-storage

I uninstalled Ruby-Memcache-0.4 and installed
memcache-client-1.0.3 (both from ports in FreeBSD btw) and
got it to work.  Still hadn't done any sort of benchmarking
tests, but hey, it's working.  Problem is, with this newer
Ruby memcached client I can't go in to the admin section;
so if I try to 'edit' something or even place a new
comment I get the following error:


    Application error (Apache)

    Change this error message for exceptions thrown outside
of an action (like in Dispatcher setups or broken Ruby code)
in public/500.html


This is the first time I've seen 'Application error
(Apache)' it always says (Rails) every other time.  So my
question, how do I find out what's bombing, and where?  The
older implementation works fine, you can admin, make
comments, etc, it's just the newer one that doesn't work,
and it leaves the Apache error.

Any insight is appreciated, I'm getting much more
comfortable in ROR and enjoy learning more and more how it
can be scaled.

Ah, and an update on this, I'm building a new server, it
only has Lighttpd on it for a webserver, and I just got the
same error as below; Application error (Apache).  I really
don't think this is Apache's fault, seeing as how it's
not installed!
