Rails 'parse_query' error on server in brand new app

Question

I have installed on OS X 10.10.3: homebrew, command line tools, then installed ruby using rbenv:

ruby 2.2.2p95 (2015-04-13 revision 50295) [x86_64-darwin14]
Rails 4.2.2

when I create a new app (with default sqlite database) and try to run it, it says:

=> Booting WEBrick
=> Rails 4.2.2 application starting in development on http://localhost:3000
=> Run `rails server -h` for more startup options
=> Ctrl-C to shutdown server
[2015-06-18 23:11:30] INFO  WEBrick 1.3.1

[2015-06-18 23:11:30] INFO  WEBrick::HTTPServer#start: pid=41860 port=3000

but in the browser I see:

500 Internal Server Error

Somebody has a similar error? how did you resolve this?

Answer 1

I was getting the same thing, but with Rails 4.2.1, and running on Puma 2.11.3.

I noticed that Bundler just upgraded rack to 1.6.3. Setting the version back to 1.6.2 resolved it for me.

Answer 2

The issue is here: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/20624

To solve it, change in your Gemfile:

gem 'rack', '1.6.1'
