Hi Ola,
The permission error is just me that misspelled the password. I am unsure to get you well. The server start and I can log on it. I then land in the "home" webpage. Then when I want to switch to userdata page, then the 500 error is triggered. I attach the apache2.conf to be on the safe side. I anyway removed all pyc, restarted omero.web and the problem remains the same.
I tried to google previously and found nothing special about apache. Using your words (django in particular) led me to
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... ogle.co.ukwhere they write the text below. The apache daemon is started as root (?) and omero (server and web as jacques). Could it be the issue? (I "chown jacques" and "chmod u+rw" to be sure). Except that, I found nothing obviously appropriate. Would you have suggestions in investigating the issue.
Thanks a lot for your help
Jacques
===================
There is something wrong with your script, and this is its output. Fix the script.
FastCGI: comm with (dynamic) server "/var/www/test/htdocs/app.py" aborted:
(first read) idle timeout (30 sec)
For some reason FastCGI was not able to communicate with your Python script. Possible reasons include a faulty socket (write permission denied or wrong ownership or group), failure in your script to correctly read from the socket or incorrect reading from the socket.
