Hi, Florian.  You've accidentally wandered into a lacuna in this list's
charter, I think.  This list is about developing Launchpad -- for
example, if you're hacking on some Launchpad bug and need to figure out
how to get it running to test your fix, then this would be a good place
to ask.

But we don't really cover production issues, because our purpose
(anyway, Canonical's purpose) is primarily to improve Launchpad as a
hosted service.  There's nothing wrong with you running your own
instance, but the production issues involved in doing that would be a
topic for a different forum -- not launchpad-users@ either, I think,
because that list is to support users of Launchpad.net.

Still, I'd happily answer your question if I knew the answer.  From my
point of view, it would be great if you could get it up and running
because then you might contribute bug fixes back! :-) I assume you've
done all the obvious stuff, like Googling the error messages.  When you
say you followed the instructions on the wiki, which exact URL do you
mean?

Thanks,
-Karl
