 It's ok now, and MT were, in the end, helpful in helping me.
 
 Thanks so much!

Would you be prepared to share the solution? I'm currently wrestling 
with a similar problem. (i.e. Attempting to install Radiant in my MT 
container)

The answer is probably blatantly obvious; but I've been looking for so 
long now it could be right under my nose and I'd miss it!

To cut a long story short, when I run 'setup_database' from the root of 
the Radiant directory using:

ruby script/setup_database production

The database is not populated. (I'll spare you the output from PuTTY, 
for now).

[Radiant] Media Temple Setup

2007-03-07 Thread Jena Jena
Hi.

I'm s new to Ruby and Rails and wanted to try radiant on my media
temple server.

Can somebody in here help me? I'm stuck. MT provides instructions on how
to set up radiant.

Which is nice. Except when you get stuck and there's nobody to help you.

Here's their document/instructions:
http://kb.mediatemple.net/article.php?id=152

Step 8 says to run a script.

This is the command: ../script/setup_database production

Run it how?! When one types this command into Termial, one gets a
massive error! Does anybody know if I need to go to a specific directory
before I run this command? If yes, does anybody know where I must go and
what such a command would look like in Terminal?

I'm close, I just know it, but I cannot get this to work.

I have logged in and logged out a million times, and googled, and tried
everything I can to get help.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Have you looked at the script?
What does the first line say?
What language is it in?
Where is your ruby executable?

Hi!

The first line says: #!/usr/bin/env ruby

I have no idea what language it is in. I'm not a programmer and I'm just 
trying to teach myself this stuff.

I also don't know where my ruby is executable.

If I could figure that out, I'd know how to access the script from 
terminal, yes?

Am I even on the right track?

Thank you!

Hi Jena,

Try running the script with the word 'ruby' in front of it. If you do 
not have Ruby installed, well then I am afraid you have to ask again.

  ruby ../script/setup_database production

Regards,
Erik.

 I also don't know where my ruby is executable.

Do you know what operating system you're running under?

Hint:

   try running /usr/bin/env ruby

 If I could figure that out, I'd know how to access the script from 
 terminal, yes?

Yes.

 Am I even on the right track?

No.

I'm not trying to be obscure, I'm trying to get you to solve your problem
instead of calling for help at every hurdle and blindly following
instructions and learning nothing.

I suspect that your are going to have to learn a modicum of, if not
programming in the sense of C++, then basic command line scripting and bit
about Ruby and some background about how Rails works.
