I just started to try out copycopter but the out of the box app seems to be crashing. I pretty much just ran the instructions at https://github.com/copycopter/copycopter-server, but clearly something isn't working right. This is the last several lines of my heroku log, but I can give more detail if needed. I see that it's using old style plugins - is that related and if so what needs to be changed?

I had the same issue. I changed the gemfile of copycopter-server locally:
rails 3.2.6 to rails 3.2.13 "source :rubygems" must be "source "https://rubygems.org" and most importantly your eventmachine version in gemfile.lock must be updated to : "eventmachine (1.0.3)"
And then run bundle update rails, bundle install and push to heroku again, and heroku run rake db:migrate again.
Hope this works for you too!
