[Radiant] Rails/Radiant Installation

[Justin Grammens]

Depending on the size of the site I've had pretty good
success just using mod_proxy with Apache. You just add
a few ProxyPass lines to the httpd.conf file to proxy
requests to your rails (Radiant) application running
Mongrel on another port (3000 for example). Works
pretty easy.

To transfer the development site to the production
server, I usually just FTP the contents to my
production server, run rake db:migrate to setup the
tables and then just mysqldump the data from the
development DB to the production one.
