strace output is rarely helpful; much better is the log with debug enabled. This is done by adding to local_conf.py: DEBUG = 1 LOGGING = logging.DEBUG More than likely there is a configuration problem and the easiest way to determine this is: # freevo prompt Python 2.4.4 (#1, Feb 11 2007, 17:31:10) [GCC 3.4.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import config >>> config.FREEVO_LOGDIR '/var/log/freevo' >>> If there is an error it will show during the import. There will be a log file created called /var/log/freevo/prompt-0.log (actually the name will vary depending on your set-up. Will you report back what you see?
