Deploying on a media temple (dv) server

Does anyone have any experience with this or do they have any pointers? I have been trying to deploy a basic radiant install to a media temple (dv) account, Following the instructions here Media Temple Community | Media Temple Community and modifying the setup slightly (to point to my rails app instead of their testapp)

no configuration errors but the application fails minus the ability to navagate to www.mydomain.com/admin (this works perfectly)

Any insight to my setup problem would be greatly appreciated

I don't know if this helps but I have recently been trying to do something similar. In media temple's rails instructions it says that by default the app will be in production mode. So, I entered in my db configuration information for production. That didn't work. When I entered the correct db settings under development though, everything worked fine. So, you might check there.

BTW - I am on the grid server which is a little different.
