Errors that happen really early (like syntax errors) are logged in the
Apache logs rather than the Objavi log file.  Maybe that is happening.

The problem is that config.py is in the git repository, so any changes you
make clash with later updates.  Booki does things better, with the repo
file being settings.py.original, but you still miss out on automatic
updates to default values.

You can look at the directories under htdocs in your browser, and a link
like this will show you the latest:
