I am trying to upgrade from InstantRails 1.7 to 2.0 and can not get  
rails apps created with 1.7 to run?

Working through the How-to-update.txt file it states the following:  
You must create this SCGI configuration file for each of your Rails  
apps since it won’t already exist:

```
* Select the menu command
  "Rails Applications >> Manage Rails Applications..."

* For each Rails application, select it and press the button
  "Configure SCGI Settings..."

      o This will popup a dialog that will let you set the
        runtime mode (development, production, test) and the
        SCGI port number.

```

However I have no “Configure SCGI Settings” button available after  
selecting Manage Rails Applications?

I get a 500 error when I start up mongrel and try to view any page in my  
rails apps created with InstantRails 1.7?

The documentation also states:  
\* Select the menu command “Rails Applications \>\> Open Ruby Console  
Window”.  
One at a time, move into the base directory for each of your Rails  
apps,  
and then follow the upgrade instratuctions here:  
[Peak Obsession](http://documentation.rubyonrails.com/re) … to\_10.html

However when you go to this url you get a “Page Not Found” error?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
