Does hostgator give you command-line, or shell, access to the server? For extensions to work (last time I looked) you need to run a command-line series of commands. One simple one is, in the rails-root directory, type "script/extension install forms"
That will create the forms directory in the vendor/extensions path. then, you want to run: rake radiant:extensions:forms:migrate and rake radiant:extensions:forms:update Anna On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 9:42 AM, Jim Gay <j...@saturnflyer.com> wrote: > Please reread my previous reply. > > You've installed the gem and that's it.
