I figured out the first problem listed above. It wasn't related to
file permissions, but I want to document it here since if I hit it
someone else is likely to hit it too.
The problem was because I was writing application import statements
incorrectly. For example, I was saying:
from phonemechart.views import *
This worked on my development machine but failed in deployment. If I
change this to:
from lingshare.phonemechart.views import *
everything works.
Lesson learned: write import statements in application files relative
to the entire site instead of relative to the application.
I'm still confused about why it worked on my development machine
because the relative sys.paths don't appear to be set any differently
there. I also tried uncommenting the os.chdir("/somepath/web-
interface/lingshare") line in my .fcgi file, but this did not fix the
problem.
Thanks for your suggestion about permissions. I probably have some of
those problems in here too. :-)
