[Slashcode-general] No stories on main index page.

[Brock W. <bwo...@ho...>]

Ok, so I know it's a newbie question, and I've RTFM, and the answer is
under my nose, but I can't seem to look past it ;-)

I have installed slash-1.1.6-bender and all modules, MySQL etc. The site
runs, I've created topics, sections, new users, posted stories (as admin
userid), posted submissions as anonymous coward, and as other users,
organized blocks on page to suit my site, etc. BUT.

I don't see posted stories on main index page, regardless of "section"
and "topic" stories are posted to 8-(

Base stats.

RH Linux kernel 2.2-14.5
Perl 5.6.0
Apache 1.3.14
MySQL 3.23.33-1

Only error messages getting so far are from apache error_log file
"sitename_error_log" saying some stories could not be posted due to NULL
"section" and "department" values, but most posted stories appear to be
database.

I checked slashd, and I restarted using virtual hostid, and confirmed
via top it's running.

Any clues to what is wrong, or at least where to look for problem.

Chomping at the bit to start hosting.
