I setup a site there recently and did the following (instead of using
gems):

  1. Install Radiant with Subversion here:

    ~/radiant

    To do this execute:

    svn co http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/tags/0_5_2/ ~/radiant

  2. Then create a radiant instance application in the appropriate place
    for your subdomain:

    With this command:

    ~/radiant/bin/radiant ~/path/to/subdomain/

  3. Uncomment the following line in config/environment.rb:

    RAILS[ENV] ||= ‘production’

  4. Change the permissions on dispatch.fcgi like this:

    chmod 755 public/dispatch.fcgi

  5. Make sure .htaccess is setup correctly for Apache.

You might try the above.

Ok, I’m having a few problems here.

I have used this instead of the line that you suggested

  1. Install Radiant with Subversion here:

    svn co
    http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/tags/rel_0-5-2http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/tags/0_5_2/~/radiant

  2. Then create a radiant instance application in the appropriate place
    for
    your subdomain:

    ~/radiant/radiant/bin/radiant ~/onenation/

  3. Uncomment the following line in config/environment.rb:

    RAILS[ENV] ||= ‘production’

  4. Not too sure about the process from this point - I have added in this
    line to the dispatch.fcgi file is that all?

How then do I get to the radiant admin page on my site? I have set up
the
databases and the database.yml page as best I can but things seem to
have
ground to a halt!

thanks a lot for your help!

There is now a wiki on hostingrails.com written by me, if anyone else
needs
help in this area.

Thanks to John for the help on getting set up!

No, no. You don’t add the line to dispatch.fcgi. You execute it over
ssh:

$ cd ~/onenation/
$ chmod 755 public/dispatch.fcgi

Be sure that your domain/subdomain is setup to serve files out of
“~/onenation/public/”.
