HI Thanks for the reply - I really appreciate it. The problem however still occurs:
Here's whats happening: 1. user "apache" is added to group "lighttpd" 2. when I chmod 777 it seems to work 3. when I change the file permissions back and save using the django admin the 500 errror occurs. but i think the image IS saved there. Here is what i see in the apache logs: -------- [Mon Jun 25 18:17:31 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] (111)Connection refused: FastCGI: failed to connect to server "/var/ www/www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi": connect() failed [Mon Jun 25 18:17:31 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/ www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi" [Mon Jun 25 18:17:31 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] (111)Connection refused: FastCGI: failed to connect to server "/var/ www/www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi": connect() failed [Mon Jun 25 18:17:31 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/ www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi" [Mon Jun 25 18:17:32 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] (111)Connection refused: FastCGI: failed to connect to server "/var/ www/www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi": connect() failed [Mon Jun 25 18:17:32 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/ www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi" [Mon Jun 25 18:17:32 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] (111)Connection refused: FastCGI: failed to connect to server "/var/ www/www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi": connect() failed [Mon Jun 25 18:17:32 2007] [error] [client 206.191.88.168] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/ www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi" [Mon Jun 25 18:31:18 2007] [error] [client 142.167.136.101] (104)Connection reset by peer: FastCGI: comm with server "/var/www/ www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi" aborted: read failed, referer: http://www.canadianfamily.ca/contests/18/entered/ [Mon Jun 25 18:31:18 2007] [error] [client 142.167.136.101] FastCGI: incomplete headers (0 bytes) received from server "/var/www/ www.canadianfamily.ca/mysite.fcgi", referer: http://www.canadianfamily.ca/contests/18/entered/ -------- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
