"You guys", being precisely whom? O'Reilly? Volunteers? Other users?
Without meaning to be rude, this comes close to qualifying as a RTFM
question, meaning that the information you need is either a) in the
documentation, or b)obvious from the context of what you are trying to
do.
However, on the off chance that it is neither, I suggest that you post
EXACTLY what the problem is, when it occurs, and what the error
message says EXACTLY, so the other people can understand your
situation.
Since NO ONE is paid to support this software (it is, after all, Open
Source, as you noted), we all do it because we like each other. Be
nice, and we will like you, too, and try to help.
