Heya Jim,

Sorry for the super lame slow-to-response bit about this email.

So, it depends on your setup.  Depending on how you set things up (like
in the default mediagoblin docs) your errors should be appearing in the
httpd error logs (nginx or apache or whatever).

However, if you're using something like uwsgi I think, you'll need to
set up a separate file logger.  You can set up your own paste config,
and something like this:

  
#+BEGIN_SRC diff
diff --git a/paste.ini b/paste.ini
index 3c7eb17..ce3c5eb 100644
--- a/paste.ini

You could also use a syslog handler or some such thing.  Let me knwo if
you need help with that.

Again, sorry for the long delay on the reply!
