All,

I am trying to install radiant 0.6 on Site5 hosting - does anyone know  
how  
this can be done easily? I have followed tutorials for the .5.2 release  
but  
cannot get this working for .6.

Any ideas?

Keith

Have you tried these instructions?:  
[http://radiantcms.org/blog/2007/04/24/radiant-0-6-lapidary-release/](http://radiantcms.org/blog/2007/04/24/radiant-0-6-lapidary-release/)

At one time I posted how to install .6 rc2 to the mailing list.  
currently trying to find it again so I don’t have to type it all over.

I’ve been working on getting it going for the past few days. Some  
users here have reported that they have 0.6 running, and that it  
installed without trouble.

Take a look at the these two threads:

From my understanding of things (although take this with a grain of  
salt since I haven’t been able to get things working), there are a  
few steps you must take in addition to the standard installation  
procedure (as listed in the blog post that Al mentioned):

Before you do anything, setup RubyGems to install (and subsequently  
search) a directory in your home path. This is detailed nicely in  
the site5 forums post that I linked above. Then install the gem and  
unpack radiant using the directions from the official blog. You then  
need to force the server into production mode by uncommenting the  
line in config/environment.rb.

Finally, move the public\_html folder to public\_html\_bak and create a  
symbolic link pointing from public\_html to the public folder of your  
install.

Best of luck!  
Matt
