Errors on new DreamWidth installation using Ubuntu 9.10 Server
Just setup a new instance of DreamWidth and I am getting blank screens when I hit certain portions of the site. For example when I hit http://www.librejournal.org/users/kyle/ I get the following errors in my Apache error log (which I've upped to debug):
Anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot? It seems related to any user related pages, so maybe the patch used for dw-free installations had an issue w/ User.pm?
As noted in the subject I'm also on Ubuntu 9.10 Server, don't know how common that install is.

Two things I can think of...
Off the top of my head, I'm thinking this might be an Apache (or DW) subdomain thing.
Is your DW installation configured to use subdomains for user accounts (as in: grimsniffer.dreamwidth.org rather than www.dreamwidth.org/users/grimsniffer/)? It's a variable in one of the config files. If it is, do you manage to access journals when typing in the URL like that? If it isn't, try enabling it, restarting the server and see if you can access user-pages (both in a subdomain form and in the form you used above).
Second: Is your Apache server configured to use subdomains? As in: does your httpd.conf file have something along these lines?: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23
I'm not near my installation at the moment, so I can't check these parameters exactly and tell you what they should read - so I have to revert to Google.
I don't know about Ubuntu 9.10 and DW. I'm running it on Debian Lenny and it works fine (at least the parts you're having trouble with).
