[Catalyst] Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::CatalystBasics [error] Couldn't render template "undef error - status_msg is undefined

[David Christensen]

catalyst:

I am working my way through the Catalyst tutorials, and have come across some
issues.


My platform is FreeBSD 6.2.  I did not use the ports collection to install
Catalyst, instead I read:

http://search.cpan.org/~mramberg/Catalyst-Runtime-5.7006/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Inst
allation.pod

and used CPAN to install the following modules/bundles (?):

    Task::Catalyst

    Catalyst::Devel


As I worked my way through the examples, I found that I also needed to install:

    Catalyst::Helper::Model::DBIC::Schema

    Catalyst::Helper::View::TTSite


I'm now on tutorial 2 of 9, and have run the various scripts, entered modules and
templates, etc., as directed for the books database example.  When I fire up the
development server and browse to:

    http://p3800.holgerdanske.com:3000/books/list


The server says:

    [error] Couldn't render template "undef error - status_msg is undefined


I don't know how to fix that.  STFW revealed no hits and the mailing list archive
doesn't seem have it's own search engine (Google Advanced with Domain set should
do it?).  (Complete server output follows FYI.)


Any suggestions?


TIA,

David
