Hi Wendy,

Unfortunately, things like that (installing products, packages) don't always
Just Work(TM).

You'll need to do a bit of troubleshooting/debugging to figure out where the
problem is
(or just ask webfaction).

At first glance, I wonder if you are *really* installing it properly with
easy_install ? 
i.e. look in your instance dir's lib/python, do you see something like:

    Products.Ploneboard-2.0rc1-py2.4.egg

Are you sure this egg works with Plone-3.0.3 (and not 3.0.5 only) ? 

For whatever it's worth, I can tell you that, using buildout, I was able to
install it
very easily by adding it to the eggs section of my buildout.cfg:

    # Add additional eggs here
    # elementtree is required by Plone
    eggs =
        elementtree
        Products.Ploneboard

and then rerunning buildout: http://paste.plone.org/19227

The instance starts and runs fine, and I can install Ploneboard.

Note: It *is* possible to use a buildout on Webfaction, I have at least one
client doing that. You have to configure a generic "application listening on a
port"
(or something like that) and then configure a site to use that application
(as usual). This, as opposed to directly adding a Plone application via
their "add application" menu.

Hope that helps,

Alex
