Maybe someone™ with DreamHost access can confirm that it works, then update our wiki regarding deploying Radiant on DreamHost[1]?

Thanks Arik, I appreciate your plug 🙂 Bjørn, I can (of course) confirm that I have Radiant running on Dreamhost using Passenger. I haven’t had time to add actual content to the instance yet, but Radiant, Gallery and MultiSite is fully functional, albeit slow to load when Passenger must be spawned: [http://radiant.casperfabricius.com/admin/](http://radiant.casperfabricius.com/admin/) (“real” Radiant site) [http://hotelotium.dk/](http://hotelotium.dk/) (a mirrored multisite) [http://hotelotium.dk/admin/](http://hotelotium.dk/admin/) (just to prove the point) I can update the wiki entry on running Radiant on Dreamhost, if you don’t mind it being without the use of the gem (never seen the point of using the gem), and with a Capistrano recipe added. Cheers, Casper F. ---

If you find the time to update the wiki, that would nice as your post is a good how-to. Just to clarify, I’m starting to take a special interest in the wiki content, but I have no authority there. – Sincerely, Bjorn Michelsen ---

Okay, the wiki entry is updated: [http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How\_To\_Deploy\_on\_Dreamhost](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How_To_Deploy_on_Dreamhost) While writing, I realized that I make quite a lot of assumptions about the user’s knowledge in the field of Rails. I assume that the user know about Subversion, Capistrano, Rails itself in general and about ssh (which might be particularly cryptic to the novice user). Should we add sections to explain about these things? Probably shouldn’t be on the Dreamhost page, as it is already lengthy enough. On the other hand, users that are not into Rails or development in general should probably just choose on the one-click CMS installers at Dreamhost. /Casper ---

That’s a good point, David, and I have updated the guide so the user can choose between Capistrano and SFTP: [http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How\_To\_Deploy\_on\_Dreamhost](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How_To_Deploy_on_Dreamhost) /Casper
