I am getting the 500 error which says Application error (Apache) Something /very bad/ just happened. I just /know it/. Do you smell smoke? I have looked in the FAQ and archive but the only answer I found was deleting the cache and/or log but neither of these resolved the problem. Here is some background. I installed instiki and it seeed to work fine. I created a doze pages and pasted some data into most of them. I rebooted the machine acting as the instiki server and restarted the instiki only to receive this error message. I am curious how the instiki stores the pages generated with it. I cannot find the pages anywhere except under the cache folder. I am running the instiki straight without an Apache server despite the error saying (Apache). The computer is a quad core running Windows XP Professional. I am a software engineer and consider myself reasonably savvy but the instiki software is new to me.

The "pages" are dynamically generated.> I cannot find the pages anywhere except under the cache folder.The pages in the "cache" folder are just that -- cached paged.> I am running the instiki straight without an Apache server despite the error saying (Apache).The "Apache" bit is a red herring. But there are lots of possible sources of 500 errors. Do you get this with every page? Only certain pages? What does the Instiki log file say? The error-reporting there should be more informative.> The computer is a quad core running Windows XP Professional.What version of Ruby? What version of Instiki?> I am a software engineer and consider myself reasonably savvy but the instiki software is new to me.Since it seemed to work for you, initially, there''s every reason to expect that we can get it working for you, again.

[Instiki] Application Error and basic questions
hi there mike, which version of ruby are you running? and can you maybe paste your last logfile info to http://pastie.org so we can take a look? pages are stored in the database, if you did not customize it that might be sqlite3. -m On Tue, Dec 8, 2009 at 8:33 AM, Mike Williams <Kayakfishing at wmsduo.com>wrote:> > I am getting the 500 error which says > Application error (Apache) > > Something *very bad* just happened.
