500 Error, "Can't find master page `'.general.'` ! | Forum

Topic location: Forum home » Support » Bug reports and troubleshooting

Gregor I Nov 15 '12

I have been very happy with oxwall so far. It is far and away better than any other social network sites I have used. A few days ago, this message appeared and the site has not worked since. I had not altered anything in two days before the error, so I do not know what may have caused it. I would appreciate any help! Thank you

Gregor,

1. Can you make sure that DEV_MODE is disabled on your site.
2. Do you have two sites using one database?

Our developers are saying that this problem occurs sometimes, but 9 times out of 10 it happens on a local installation. And usually on a Windows installations. So, we are digging into this problem more deeply and will keep you posted.

Hi Aliia,

I installed Oxwall on local host and i am using Windows. When I tried to modify theme, I got 500 error. Do you have any solution for it yet?
