Deploying on a media temple (dv) server

Does anyone have any experience with this or do they have any
pointers?
I have been trying to deploy a basic radiant install to a media temple
(dv) account,
Following the instructions here
http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=279
and modifying the setup slightly (to point to my rails app instead of
their testapp)

no configuration errors but the application fails minus the ability to
navagate to www.mydomain.com/admin (this works perfectly)

Any insight to my setup problem would be greatly appreciated

I don’t know if this helps but I have recently been trying to do
something similar. In media temple’s rails instructions it says that
by default the app will be in production mode. So, I entered in my db
configuration information for production. That didn’t work. When I
entered the correct db settings under development though, everything
worked fine. So, you might check there.

BTW - I am on the grid server which is a little different.
