Re: tags.py problem

Hi Tim!

The "A server error occurred.  Please contact the administrator." is the
error message coming from your web-server.  There should be an error for
the web-server.  Looking in that log will give you a better idea of what
the problem is.

Alternatively, the pyblosxom.cgi file has a line like this towards the
top of the file:

    #import cgitb; cgitb.enable()

If you remove the # from the beginning of that line, then the traceback
will show up in your browser rather than the vague error message from
your web-server.  The traceback will make it easier to ascertain what
the problem is.

This is somewhat covered in the Trouble-Shooting section:

    http://pyblosxom.bluesock.org/1.5/deploy_cgi.html#trouble-shooting

Having said all that, Mako just sent in a patch to tags.py.  You might
be hitting the problem he hit.

So before you start trouble-shooting, it might be good to grab the
latest tags.py plugin:


http://gitorious.org/pyblosxom/pyblosxom/blobs/raw/master/plugins/tags/tags.py

That file has Mako's fix.

If that doesn't fix your issue, you'll have to trouble-shoot the
problem.  If you need help, don't hesitate to ask.
