naah, the reported error-page in the browser typically comes from the
wiki initialization failing to connect to the repository

Like Scott suggested this typically happens if the wiki is started up
before the repository has completely started.  Since that isn't the
case, and a careful re-install has been executed I'm afraid some
debugging and low level checking is due.

(  Oh, one other possible mishap: Ron, you _did_ follow installation
instructions matching your release, right?  The website easily points
you to the 1.5 instructions while at this stage you probably were
checking up on 2.0-RC?

if in doubth: pick the right one from this link
http://cocoondev.org/daisy/13-cd.html  )



Anyways, assuming in depth checking is required at this stage. The path
I would pursue is to pull up a browser after repository has started and
to try out some of the HTTP/API  URL's on its port (9263)

See docs:
http://cocoondev.org/daisydocs-1_5/repository/interfaces/21-cd.html

e.g. try
http://testuser:testuser@localhost:9263/repository/query?q=select+id,name+where+true&locale=en-US

trying different user:password combos for guest:guest and the
registrar:... (the registrar password the wiki is using is in the
daisy.xconf file)


decent return xml's from these url-gets should at least indicate the
repository is functioning ok.

If that is the case, the next phase would be to rigorously check the
config for the daisy-wiki (or let it run and snoop the used
network-traffic over to the 9263-repository port)


HTH,
