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

1. Install Radiant with Subversion here:

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

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

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

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:

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

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

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!

Josh

There is now a wiki on [hostingrails.com](http://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/”.
