could you please try to checkout aaf with a subversion client of your
choice ? i.e.

svn co
svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret

if that works, just move the acts_as_ferret directory to vendor/plugins
and you’re done. if it doesn’t, chances are you’re sitting behind a
firewall that doesn’t allow the svn-protocol. if it doesn’t, there’s a
quite recent snapshot of the current trunk attached at the bottom of
this page: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret

cheers,
Jens

Thankyou for your reply Jens K.,
I can install it on my remote server ok, (probably because its not
windows)but when i do i get rails application failed to start properly".
If i delete aaf and the app works fine again, but with no aaf, sigh.
Ummm… What am i not doing to get this to work?
