Subject: [Instiki] 500 Server Error at first try
Message-ID: <4A7D359D.7090907@gmx.at>

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!

Michael

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`.

Subject: [Instiki] Weird Session-Error in instiki
Message-ID: <01B7DD13-8E30-4188-A4B2-ADEB198AD237@syndi-cat.net>

Hi,

i use instiki as a part of my application, not as the whole app itself.

the site-entrypoint, root, is a own controller that defines a session- 
value. working on all other non-instiki-controllers.

changing into wiki seems to ignore this entry. switching back from  
wiki to my app, it works again.


i am pretty unsure what that might bause.

What i actually do is:

application_controller:

before_filter :check_cart_session

def check_cart_session
      session[:cart] = wholebunchofstuff if session[:cart].nil?
end

i need this since there are some nested arrays etc.

in the main-layout, i say:

- if !session[:cart][:count].zero?
    = I18n.t :"index.cart.count", :count=> session[:cart][:count]

displays something like "you have 4 items in your cart"

in wiki, i cannot reach that values.




is there any odd in this, or, does instiki uses its own session-root?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards
Daniel
