Hi,

Well eh followed every step of this Wiki-\>  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How\_To\_Deploy\_on\_Dreamhost](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How_To_Deploy_on_Dreamhost)

But now I find the following problem:

When I go to visit the website to see the result I find it  
Next →

“Ruby on Rails application could not be started  
The application has exited during startup (ie during the evaluation of  
config / environment.rb). The error message may have been written to the  
Web server’s log file. Please check the Web server’s log file (i.e. not  
the (Rails) application’s log file) to find out why the application  
exited.  
Application Root:  
/ home / .hairpin / cc\_servidor / radiant”

The ULR → [http://www.radiant.confortcode.net/](http://www.radiant.confortcode.net/)

“No such file or directory -  
/home/.hairpin/cc\_servidor/radiant/config/database.yml”

Radiant gives you some example database.yml files. You’ll probably want  
the  
MySQL version. Edit it for your setup (make sure that you’ve created the  
DB  
using Dreamhost’s web panel first). Then you should be good.

Yes, I was just about to answer the same thing. Very snazzy error page  
Passenger generates, btw! 🙂

But just to clarify, Alejandro, since I wrote the guide, you need  
follow the guidelines in the step named “Creating the database” closely.

Cheers,
