Having all kind of issues with this. Dropped in a subfolder (/var/www/html/sitecake)

The following AJAX errors are everywhere: Strict Standards: Non-static method String::insert() should not be called statically, assuming $this from incompatible context in /var/www/html/services/application/cake/libs/debugger.php on line 398

Strict Standards: Non-static method Configure::read() should not be called statically in /var/www/html/services/application/cake/basics.php on line 213

Warning (512): SQL Error: 1030: Got error 28 from storage engine [CORE/cake/libs/model/datasources/dbo_source.php, line 684]

It just doesn't work, which is a shame.

Remember it still requires a PHP application server to run with how exploitable (and often heavy) PHP is - I'd be hesitant to call it 'simple'.

Well, my use case is neighbour/friend websites (I'm not really a web person, but I "do computers", so I get asked a lot). Buying a $3/month domain with PHP webspace, slapping this and some HTML on it and basically being done is simple for me. I mean, compared to a "real" CMS... YMMV, of course.

Maybe it broke; it's designed for small sites after all... sorry, I'm new to HN. I didn't realize it'd get that much exposure that quickly. :(

Maybe a security issue? Someone from HN accessed the code?

Is it really impossible to get Python hosting (or better) for $3/month?

I remember that here in Europe, you can get an own virtual machine for roughly $5 to $8 per month, and Python webhosting must be less expensive than that to compete.

The basic idea is awesome. Because the demo doesn't work: Do you support markdown text? Or is it a wysiwig editor that expects you to click buttons above the text editor to get something formatted?

Something like a wysiwig editor. I didn't tried markdown, but it didn't look like supporting it. Small change was pretty easy to make but I didn't play with bigger changes or dropping something more heavy.

I guess we will see when the demo is back online or you can install it somewhere to try it out. It looked pretty good.
