Question thread #6

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

DW Code on my server

[squidgiepdx]

Greetings! I hope this is an appropriate place to discuss this...

I've recently installed the Dreamwidth code on my own server, because I've had some users who have been asking me for years (I've run Squidge.ORG since 1994) to put together something like LJ/DW/IJ/etc. And thanks to the documentation, everything seem to be working pretty well.

The only thing that seems to be lacking in the documentation is anything around payments/charging/etc. Though I'm really unlikely to use it, I'd still like the option. The only thing that works out of the box that I can see is the check/cash method. I'm not sure where to begin with the credit card section, if any. I uncommented the information in the config files about PayPal, but it doesn't show up as an option when I go to check out. And Google Checkout is installed and configured, but gives me an "error 500" whenever I try and checkout.

So if this is the correct place to ask, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
