No, a soft link won't add any sort of security. The only reason to
symlink from a different directory would be for your convenience, and
if the symlink points to a different drive some servers (apache2) will
refuse to follow it.
As for what path to put it in, that's entirely dependent on your
server configuration. If you're running apache in a standard way, you
can probably dig around in /etc/apache2/ (if you have access) until
you find a config file where the path is set.

Can you stick those files in a gist or pastebin?

What does the error say, what version of rails, ruby, bundler, etc.

It sounds like this problem is specific to your web server.
You're getting a 500 error, but what does the error say?

[Radiant] Radiant 1.0 installation

2012-05-08 Thread goodluckpaul
Hello guys,

I'm really having troubles getting radiant running on my webhost (I'm
always getting Error 500). I'm trying it all last week now..
It would be great, if someone could give me instructions!

- I can't install gems myself, but they installed radiant, mysql etc for me.
- I can't set up vhosts but I bought an extra domain, which I can direct to
every directory in /home/USER/www
- I can set up symlinks
- "radiant -d mysql DIRECTORY" works fine also "bundle exec rake production
db:bootstrap", selecting username, password, etc .

- Now I'm not sure WHERE to install radiant: in /home/USER/ or
/home/USER/www
   either way, it doesn't work for me; but wouldn't it be more secure to
NOT install it in www but just symlink from there?!


- I think I don't know the right settings for the .htaccess and
environment.rb for getting my site running in the browser, how to redirect
the domain, and to which directory, etc 


Please tell me, what I should take care of!
Thanks, Paul
