Hi,
I set up a couple triggered rules. The actions are not being performed and I don't see any evidence at /admin/reports/dblog that anything is working. Will there be log entries if actions are triggered?
I'm pasting the export of one of my rules below. What I want to happen: when a user publishes a post where content type is "housing_listings" and my CCK radio button field ("field_wanted_or_offering") is set to a particular value, the code should execute. Because I can't be sure the php mail function in my code is going to work (for reasons that may have nothing to do with drupal), I also added a re-direct action so it will be obvious if the rule is working. At minimum, shouldn't I see a log entry? Thanks.

there won't be a log entry,
there won't be a log entry, if you don't use the watchdog action to write one ;) Best go to the rules settings and activate the debug log and see what happens.
I turned on debugging in the
I turned on debugging in the rules module settings and published an article meeting all the conditions... where will the debugging information be shown? I don't see it anywhere.
For testing purposes, I went ahead and eliminated all my actions for this rule and then I set an action for "log to watchdog." I then tried various things to trigger the action... I published a node meeting the conditions, then unpublished, then published, then saved while already published. Nothing triggered a rules-related log entry at /admin/reports/dblog. Of course, there are the normal entries there that are triggered by Drupal when a node is saved, but nothing with the message I set in the rules module.
What should I try next? The export for my updated rule is posted below... that is, with the watchdog action only.

where will the debugging
It's shown as a regular drupal message, so usually you can't miss it. When there is no log, this means there is no rule triggered at all. Try re-saving the rule by editing it and look for any errors.
I edited it and re-saved. I
I edited it and re-saved. I see no errors anywhere. I've seen no debugging info at any point. The module just isn't working. I'm using Drupal 6.7... and you have the rule export.

The rule export doesn't help
The rule export doesn't help me - as your installation isn't working right. Try uninstalling + reinstalling the module.. Something is wrong with your installation.

Documentation
When you go to the documentation page, http://drupal.org/node/298476, there is only one brief page with no really useful information. Is there anything more?
Thanks.
