Installation advice

[tcpip]

Pointed here by the dw-discuss mailing list

I am installing a development version of Dreamwidth with a view for making it a shared collaboration space for Australia's researchers.

I have followed the instructions - to the letter from http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dreamwidth_Scratch_Installation on dreamwidth.domain.tld

However I am receiving the "If you've gotten this error, it means that something is currently (and, with luck, temporarily) broken. Please wait five minutes and try again." page instead of a happy pinkish DW page.

I'd like to get this working so we can throw some development energy into it :)

Using threaded MPMs, according to the test on http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/install/install.html#Prerequisites

Yeah, you need prefork for Dreamwidth code.
Installing the apache2-mpm-prefork package should take care of it for you.

Meh. I gave that a go too, but it didn't work for me. I'll have another shot tomorrow.

Thanks for your help btw, it really is appreciated. I owe you a beer. At the very least.
