Here is what I did: - used radiant to create a simple blog. - script/server webrick -e production - browser to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) Everything cool… Blog looks good and admin pages look good. - configure radiant app with Apache and Passenger - browser to [http://localhost](http://localhost) Blog looks good, but, admin section has no style.
