AMQP/RabbitMQ-Server/EventMachine with PhusionPassenger/Rails Crashes - ruby-on-rails

Question

I'm using AMQP / RabbitMQ for my Ruby on Rails app.
I put the following amqp.rb file under config/initializers:
(Copied and changed from a Recipe: http://www.hiringthing.com/2011/11/04/eventmachine-with-rails.html#sthash.iqCWUtOn.dpbs)
require 'amqp'

Answer 1

Thanks to Joshua's comment. It turns out that it had nothing to do with PhusionPassenger or AMQP or RabbitMQ-Server. It's because of my Chrome cookies cache.
I cleared my cache, and now everything just works like charm.
Since my Rails throw an error, however, I think there is a bug in Ruby on Rails dealing with devise (or other gems) cookies.
