After several fitful starts caused by my attempts to deal with the ferret port failure reported from db:migrate, I finally got the database created and populated (ignoring the connection failures).

But now, having started webrick, the browser is returned:

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid in PagesController#show

Mysql::Error: Table ‘chi_dev.pages’ doesn’t exist: SHOW FIELDS FROM pages

The cause of this seems to be a mismatch between the database setup and the code. There is no :pages because there never was an :articles created (and :cms_articles didn’t get dropped?)

How can I get a coherent download for installation?

Hello Lance,

We are in the process of merging back lots of code to the open source version of XLsuite. At the same time, we are setting up continuous integration. Both of these will ensure that we get a good code base.

Sorry for the hiatus.

In the meantime, you may have more success using schema.rb: rake db:schema:load

Bye !
