Title: Fix for log tailer when the log file doesn't exist.

If the log file doesn't exist, log tailer errors out and takes down the server with it. Currently this does not happen because even if the log directory doesn't exist, https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/application/bootstrap.rb#L27 creates it and the log file will be created.
