I noticed you didn't put my post which is the namesake of this thread 
there, but that's probably just as well as we probably don't really want 
a hundred "sticky" threads up there for all possible hosting services.

It's a two-stepper on any server that's configured properly:  upload the 
file, set the permissions.

Making a separate "sticky" thread for every hosting service might give 
folks the impression that it's more complicated than it is.  It might 
also create the misunderstanding that if their host isn't listed there 
then Rev won't run on it.

The beauty of Jacque's tutorial is that it covers all that and more, in 
one simple easy read.

I just posted a note there about her tutorial, and hopefully when others 
see how complete it is they'll move beyond the perceived benefit of a 
hundred other "sticky" threads replicating a subset of that info for 
each host.

Keep simple things simple....
