[Instantrails-users] AppTrain and how to trouble shoot in IR app setup.

[jlm at justinfront.net]

There does not seem to be a script directory?
Also there does not seem to be a file named 
*apptrain/db/application.sql* as per instructions I tried to follow see 
below.
The location of the files use is here
http://rubyforge.org/frs/?group_id=1056

Any idea sort of lost
