I've been building a site on localhost and have had some sort of error occur and now can't even get to the admin screen to login to the CMS.

See an image of the screen I get below

Any suggestions?

1) Put your site into dev mode so you can see the error: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=debugging#dev_mode

2) Try visiting dev/build; your error might be due to a stale database.

When I view the _config.php file I see the following

Director::set_dev_servers(array(
'localhost',
'127.0.0.1',
));

which I think means it's in dev mode by default??

I've been to dev/build?flush=1 and get the same result

You might need to add 'localhost:3000' as an entry.

The address I've been using is as follows.

http://localhost:3000/SilverStripe-v2.3.0/dev/build?flush=1

It takes me directly to the place as shown in the screenshot in the first post

No, I mean, update set_dev_servers as follows:

Director::set_dev_servers(array(
'localhost:3000',
'localhost',
'127.0.0.1',
));

Thanks - was beginning to think a complete do over was next.
