This means something has gone wrong when Codestriker has tried to fetch the 
actual code from the Perforce repository.  Check your apache error log 
file, there should be a message in there which will hopefully indicate 
what the problem is.  Ideally, this text should appear in the browser 
window, I'll look into fixing that.

You need to make sure the user running the web server process (eg nobody or 
apache) has permissions to access the perforce repository.

If you define the repository in @valid_repositories within codestriker.conf

  'perforce:sits:sits2@localhost:1666'

when you click on a "Line XXX" or "Parallel" link, say for filename "zot.c" 
revision 4, this will execute the command:

p4 -H localhost -p 1666 -u sits -c sits2 print -q zot.c#4

The stdout from this command is then picked up by Codestriker, and used to 
form the complete view.

Try executing this command as the webserver user to see if it works or not.
