    Hello, first let me say that this a fantastic project. If only I could get it to work locally.

    So I am developing on windows using wamp. I used to use xamp but thought I would give wamp a try. I have not had any real problems until now. I keep getting Internal server error 500. This is even before I edit the code.php file. I don't know if it is the root setting or what, but I also have wamp set to get to my localhost only through the ip. I have not yet run across anything that would have a problem with this.

    Thank you and keep up the good work this is an interesting project.

    It's because he's developing from his user directory on a linux computer.<br/>
    The only problem is that he's not developing in a relative manner, he's using an absolute path (his user dir).<br/>
    But then again man, it's not even version 0.1;

    @ frobdfas - as kool2bchilln points out this is developed on linux, and again correctly he points out that I've worked relatively from my user directory..

    @ kool2bchilln are you working from IIS and do you have a solution to this relative issue?

    thanks.

    Apache 2.
    The only way to fix it is to code it using relative paths. As in $thisdir = "."; kind of directory references. Because right now the tree and the save script don't match up for me because they're expecting a full, Linux style path. Whereas relative paths work in linux, mac, windows, apache, IIS, ect.

    Maybe this week end I will look at the code and see what I can do about it. I have never had a problem getting php to be cross platform, and I am not sure that this is the problem.

    @ frobdfas -sorry I was real tired last night.. let's start more logically this morning.

    error 500 - server error - IIS or windows based systems give that fora  few reasons, but the most obvious is the .htaccess file in the root directory.. this is a linux file and windows seems unable to ignore it.. it's a hidden file ( starts with a dot ), so you'll need to turn hidden files on, remove or rename it and try again.

    based on average stats, most people who have downloaded probably use Windows, so this might eb a common issue - I must admit at this early stage in the project, I've not even done more that design testing on other environments..

    perhaps it's time to add a note to the installation instructions, if this is the problem, to remove this file.

    please let me know.

    cheers

    I no longer get the 500 error. I thought that it would little to do with the code and more to do with my setup. Like I said I am not that familiar with wamp and have been using xamp.

    wamp and xamp are sort of all-in-one Apache websearvers with php and MySQL installed that can easly be turn on and off as needed. It is far more flexible for local web development than trying to run IIS on a local machine. I should have posted this before, and only post it now for archival purposes; so other who may have the same problem know that they have the same problem.

    I can't wait till I can get started using your software. I intend to begin development on a custom CMS and hope that your tool makes development easier.
