I am trying to install the Radiant CMS on my host  
[www.virtosonetsolutions.com](http://www.virtosonetsolutions.com). They already have Ruby installed so I do  
not need to worry about that, but when following the setup  
instructions I get an error as detailed below.

Server Info:  
Linux / Centos 4.3 (Redhat Enterprise 4 equivilent)  
Cpanel 10x  
I have a reseller account (no root permission / jailed shell access)  
phpsuexec enabled

In putty I am typing the following:  
script/setup\_database production

It returns:  
script/setup\_database: Permission denied

Do I need to change my security settings? If so, what command would I  
type in Putty to update it?

Thanks,  
Matt

What happens when you execute:

chmod +x script/\*

And then try the command again?
