I having a bit of trouble with radiant not starting, or something,  
and thus when browse my site I get a folder listing of /public/  
instead of the site it’s self.

My rails stack appears to be fine, a sample app/database can get to  
the “You’re riding the Rails!” page fine.

I’ve tried installing from the gem, svn, package, svn and gem, all to  
no avail.

I’ve configured the database.yml file, I’ve run rake production  
db:bootstrap and can’t think of what else there is to do.

My best guess is that I’ve forgotten something grossly obvious and  
just need someone outside to say “hey look there.”

any help is appreciated,

john

What server are you using? If Apache + FCGI: is your .htaccess in order?

That’s probably a web-server issue – not rewriting the URLs properly.  
Are you using Apache?

Turns out it was something wrong in my mongrels setup (this is my  
first try with it, should’ve guessed that’s where the issue was). Now  
I just have to figure out why Apache2 is giving me a 403 on port 80  
but not any of the mongrel ports…
