It looks like you are running from the source, rather than from the gem (or vendor). Is there a reason for that? ---

When I read the Dreamhost Tutorial, Casper F. suggested running from the source because “gems can be troublesome to manage on Dreamhost”. However, I don’t think that’s an issue anymore. ---

However, I don’t think that’s an issue anymore. Try running it from vendor instead. You can create an instance of radiant with ‘radiant my\_site’ ‘cd my\_site’ ‘rake radiant:freeze:gems’ That will make a copy of the radiant source in my\_site/vendor/radiant And just incase you are wondering, Rails is bundled in my\_site/vendor/ radiant/vendor/rails That would allow you to ‘unfreeze’ later, or even do ‘radiant:freeze:edge’ to get new features that haven’t made it into an official release yet. ---

You’d need to move anything that you added or altered into the directory of your new app. This includes your config/database.yml, environment file changes, public, and anything in vendor/extensions (or vendor plugins if you added anything to the default)
