Rails 2.1.1 is a bit antiquated -- I wouldn't have thought it was that hard to move it to 2.3.8. Maybe they're hoping somebody will do it for them, and that's why they open sourced it?

I'm giving up on it. Did you get it working? Did you notice that the default adapter in database.yml is postgres ;) Smart cookies, those BestBuy people.
