Hey guys,

so I think I’ve done my installation of the beast forum correctly. Its  
done the database migration and all the tables look fine. Now, when I  
run

ruby script/server

and point my browser at [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/) I get a “500 Internal  
Server Error” error.

Anybody know whats causing this? I’ve been trying to work it out for  
ages now and its wrecking my head so please help!
