Hello,
I'm not able to help you with that error, as I'm not really into python much - but..
This might be a dumb question, but why aren't you installing NAV from its Debian repository? Read http://pkg-nav.alioth.debian.org/ for further instructions. After aptitude has done its magic, it's time to follow the steps (and I mean step by step..) in /usr/share/doc/nav/README.Debian. This will also make your updating process a lot easier.

Hello,
I just installed Nav 3.5.3 from source on a Debian 5 (Lenny), following the steps described in http://metanav.uninett.no/installing_from_source_on_debian. The problem is that when I try to log in I get the following error:
DocumentRoot: '/usr/local/nav/apache/webroot'

Any clues on this? Did I do something wrong? Let me know if you need more info.
Thank You.
