Hi Everyone,

I tried to install Aitor’s extension backdoor. I am using a shared  
hosting  
account running rails on CGI. Is not that fast, but is working well so  
far.

I checked out thorugh svn the stable version of backdoor  
[http://backdoor.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/stable/](http://backdoor.rubyforge.org/svn/tags/stable/) on vendor/extensions (I  
placed it on a directory named backdoor).

And then tried to login in the admin interface I receive the message  
Application error  
Rails application failed to start properly"

May be is a permission mode issue.  
I CHMODed 755 the folders, but I still have the issue, and since the  
application doesn’t starts I have nothing on log file.

I had same issue when trying to install SASS filter.

Am I missing something?

Could you give me some landmarks for get backdoor to work?

Thank you in advance!

MQ

I have it installed as back\_door.

CamelCase names get translated to camel\_case address I believe.

Maybe your issue.

This is something that is not clear in the documentation wiki. So i  
updated the main extension wiki page to comment this (  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/Extensions)). I added a “Note on extension  
directory naming” section at the end.

```
/AITOR

```
