##Gem/Bundle Issues

• An error occurred while installing libv8 (3.16.14.3), and Bundler cannot continue.
  • If you are running OSX Mavericks or Yosemite (10.9 or 10.10) therubyracer gem can have trouble installing its dependency libv8. Explicitly building this version of the libv8 gem can help, as explained on this StackOverflow post. Try running bundle update libv8 before running bundle install.

##Server Errors

• 500 Internal Server Error
  • 500 errors can happen for a myriad of reasons. If you just started running a server by executing rails s and are immediately getting this error, it's likely your mongo database is not running. Start the database by manually running monogod -dbpath db in your OpenFarm directory, or better yet, if you use Homebrew run brew services start mongodb. To see your list of currently running brew background services run brew services list.
