I just installed radiant, I can login fine to the admin. I am hosting on  
[asmallorange.com](http://asmallorange.com) and followed this instructions to install

[http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/HowToASmallOrange](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/HowToASmallOrange)

so far so good, but here’s the problem  
I don’t get any stylesheets on the address…

[http://www.organiza-t.com/organiza-t.com/](http://www.organiza-t.com/organiza-t.com/)

also it does not place radiant at root… as is also in the example on  
[http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/HowToASmallOrange](http://dev.radiantcms.org/radiant/wiki/HowToASmallOrange)

further links expect directories at root…

It seems like it might be simple, I just do not know were to tweak

You need to adjust your Web server so that it serves files out of the  
public directory in your radiant install’s root.

This could be as simple as creating a symlink.

I thought I had done that already.

ln -s ~/radiant/public ~/public\_html/your\_site\_name

or do i need to create another symlink somewere else?

I’m guessing you need:

ln -s ~/radiant/public ~/public\_html

But I could be wrong. I’m not really familiar with A Small Orange.
