Re: Running pyblosxom as user script causes internal server error (fwd)

Can someone help with this?  I don't have this problem and don't really 
fiddle with these sorts of things much.

Thanks for the fast reply.

Well, I checked the Apache logs and all it says is a 500 error code.
So, if there is no way I can get this thing to run with a setuid bit
on, is there a way to make sure that the files (comments) that are
created all way have 777 permissions (so that I can delete/move them
myself instead of asking the sysadmin again and again)?

Thanks again,
Bala.
