Dev Troubleshooting
Contents
Is your system updated?
Make sure that your system is updated. Dreamwidth code is best supported by Ubuntu Intrepid. To update all your packages, you should be logged in as root and then run:
apt-get update apt-get upgrade
If you need to upgrade Ubuntu from Hardy to Intrepid, first you will want to edit this file:
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
And replace all instances of "hardy" with "intrepid". The easy vi command for that is:
%s/hardy/intrepid/g
Then, run the two apt-get commands above and do a system restart.
Restarting Apache
Sometimes stopping and restarting Apache can help:
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
Apache error logs
The error logs for Apache (the web server) are located at /var/log/apache2/error.log for a default Ubuntu installation. Loading blank pages are probably the result of mod_perl crashing (often called a "segfault").
Are there new ljconfig.pl options you are missing?
Check and see if there have been changes, such as additions or removals, to variables in ljconfig.pl.
