  Are you sure?  What does debug mode say?

  If you ran the server in debugging mode, you would see the *exact*
error.  It's important to see the exact error, rather than saying some
imprecise summary.

  And if you run the server in debugging mode, you'll see why.

  None of which is relevant.

  The FAQ, "man" page, web pages, and daily messages on this list say to
run the server in debug mode.

  Why aren't you doing that?

  The answers are almost always in the debug output.  It boggles my mind
why people are so opposed to looking at it.
