Hello everyone. I’m a Rails newbie. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve actually was able to setup Radiant on TextDrive actually with no problem. I need to set it up on Dreamhost. Does anyone have an detailed documentation on how to set it up on Dreamhost? Thanks! Brian Z. ---

I have setup on DH. Please visit [wiki.dreamhost.com](http://wiki.dreamhost.com) for details on how to deploy a rails app. ---

I got things working and I don’t think I did any of the things on the wiki page. One thing that I figured out was that the line host: [path.to.mysqldatabase.com](http://path.to.mysqldatabase.com) had to be added to database.yml for each database to make it work. Other than that I think it was a pretty normal installation, following the docs on [Radiantcms.org](http://Radiantcms.org) and the install text file. ---

I got a Radiant site at Dreamhost as well. I don’t think I did anything special either… the most important point is to not forget to set public as the root of your site in the Dreamhost panel. I still get a lot of the dreaded ‘application errors’ but that happens with all my Rails sites at Dreamhost… very annoying, but nothing to do with Radiant I think. – Jeroen J.

Here’s an ugly hack that seems to solve the problem: [http://work.alexyoung.org/archives/102/dreamhost-and-rails-500-errors](http://work.alexyoung.org/archives/102/dreamhost-and-rails-500-errors) ---

Finally got it working. It was a database issue. ---

Yes! I’m not sure how, but it is possible. I just wish I could do it again so I could get it running on a couple production sites. What sort of errors are you getting?
