[Radiant] App Error /admin on dreamhost

Hello Radiant,

I am setting up Radiant on a dreamhost sharing and after working through all
the database learning curve, permissions loveliness and other just quirks of
shared hosting.  I now ran into this error.  My app runs just fine normally.
But then when I try to admin it from fcgi it crashes.  The log files seem to
be vanishing which I tried to fix with little avail. If I run webrick I can
admin it just fine.  Why can't the world be as easy as webrick? 

I know there is a recent post on this error so I am not the only one.  

Thanks much,

Justin
