I have just installed radiant in my dreamhost setup, and I also saw that this page empty. So this is the best moment to write all the steps down while my memory is still fresh! This document is mostly a compendium of several sources, I will try to cite when possible.

Enabling FastCGI
Go to your Control Panel, in Domains → Manage Domains, select the domain that is going to host the Radiant installation and click on “Edit” in the WebHosting column. Choose it, and then make sure ‘FastCGI Support’ is enabled.
