@smartrobot Did you configure the FlatFile DB? Also, could you provide the web server logs?

[smartrobot]

The Apache error log was empty in /var/apache2/error.log also I there was no mention of a FlatFile DB in the README.md if that is the case that might be the problem since it's not configured but I didn't see anywhere to put in a database or anything.

@smartrobot There isn't any MySQL database, but you should chmod to 777 the data/ directory...

@smartrobot We are offering a managed installation service, you can but it at Gumroad.

When running from "master" with php5.3, even I was hitting this "500" error.

After a little bit of digging, turned out that issue was caused due to commit 9b1a5d9a9aca9e680c16e556226c8bf0aaf8e4b8 where all arrays were changed to use []

Errors that I could find are:

# php /srv/www/htdocs/tasks/includes/functions.php
PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '[' in /srv/www/htdocs/tasks/includes/functions.php on line 48

When I reverted the change introduced in 9b1a5d9, I then saw this in apache error log:

PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected '[' in /srv/www/htdocs/tasks/ajax/signin_ajax.php on line 190

I finally downloaded the code before this commit - https://github.com/m1guelpf/Tasks/archive/73adefd97ca04fc3d75dfa7c95745778d306956a.zip - and everything worked as expected.

Hope this helps someone in resolving this issue.

@srinidhibs You need to use at least PHP 5.4 (or revert that commit like you did).

[srinidhibs]

@m1guelpf sorry, I missed that detail in the README. Anyways, I've decided to use something else for now.

Thank you for developing this tool and your attention on this issue!
