I get this:

Website Error
There has been an error

The website server has not been able to respond to your request.

After installing and opening this:
http://www.a-n-t-o-o-n-k-a-r-g.com/_ss/admin/
(remove the "-" from the url)

What did I do wrong ?

Try adding

?isDev=1

after the URL - that should give you a whole lot of text that may or may not help to identify the problem.

I get this too.

Although in my case, I get redirected to that page with the error, I am trying to catch the errors on the redirect page first but it flashes so fast I am having problems getting a screenshot, etc.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help!!

I have the same problem and error message:

Website Error
There has been an error
The website server has not been able to respond to your request.

Yesterday, I went thru Tutorial 1 (), and got this error message. I finally re-installed SS, and started over.
Today, I have gone thru 3/4 of Tutorial 2, and again got this error message.

Installing SilverStripe2.4.0 on MAMP.

I've tried (among other calls):
http://localhost:8888/silverstripe/dev?flush=1
http://localhost:8888/silverstripe/dev/build?flush=1
http://localhost:8888/silverstripe/dev/build?flush=all
and get the above error message (with no other info or login fields), and this in the address bar:
http://localhost:8888/silverstripe/Security/login

Any help??

My background info: I spent a month or so learning drupal, but the more I understand it, the less I like it (its ugly admin interface, its poor organization, and its module quagmire). I was pretty close to understanding how to get my site up and running with but came to the conclusion that I do not really want to use drupal as an end-user, nor maintain it as a website developer, let alone service other drupal sites. (I'm learning to become a web developer.)

While looking for alternatives (wordpress is too limited, and joomla, I hear, is worse than drupal), I discovered SilverStripe, MODx, and Concrete5. SilverStripe looks like the best, but as I can't seem figure out how to resolve this problem (without having to re-install, which is not a real solution) I beginning to think I should turn to MODx, my second choice.

I really like SS's organization and structure (its separation of templates and code). I know xhtm/css but have only a very rudimentary knowledge of php (though I want to learn it). However, I have xhtml/css files ready to go and want to integrate them with a CMS and launch my website before jumping into php books. Is it possible for me to use SS with (basically) only the "SS tutorials" knowledge of php?

All advice welcome.

Hi Jim, Welcome to SilverStripe

Website Error 
There has been an error 
The website server has not been able to respond to your request.

Is the standard generic 500 error page (as you can tell) If you want to see the more verbose error then your site has to be in devmode. You can put it in devmode by adding Director::set_environment_type("dev"); in your mysite/_config file (before the ?>)

Docs http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=debugging.

After you have put it in devmode this will reveal an error message which you can use to debug.
