Instiki users - Aug 2009 - [Instiki] 500 Server Error at first try

Hi,

just wanted to give Instiki a first try. I run Linux From Scratch 
Distribution 6.3 with ruby 1.8.7 (2008-05-31 patchlevel 0) and
mysql 5.0.51.

When I execute ./instiki, WEBrick starts without errors, but when 
visiting localhost:2500 the server gives an 500 Error "Application error 
(Apache)", which is misleading, because Apache is not involved here.

I tried to find out what went wrong in a log file, but could not find 
any hints. The command line doesn''t complain about anything either.

I adapted `config/database.yml` for mysql and ran `rake db:create`, but 
it tries to create a sqlite database...

Any hints appreciated!

Thanks, that helped. I had to set the `RAILS_ENV=production` environment 
variable, adapt `config/database.yml`, manually create an empty MySQL 
database,  and run `rake db:migrate`.
