I was recently told my web site wasn't working. Upon investigation it
turns out only one page doesn't work, but it's the site's main entry
page. If you go to <http://MAP-NE.com/> you get the error message in
the subject. Apparently, all other pages work fine. When this page
is retrieved, the following is sent to the debug log
: Internal server error: <Invalid backtrace/error container:

But, I can't figure out from that what exactly is wrong. This also
happens on my development version (which at this point is identical).
I don't see anything special about this page, other index.html pages
come out fine (see for example <http://MAP-NE.com/ne/> from which you
can try all the navigation), and if I move it aside I get the expected
directory listing.
The last edit to this file was a simple change to some text. This
implies to me that at the time of this edit (last September) I had
been looking at the page in a web browser to be inspired to make the
change, so it worked then (and I would have been very surprised if it
had taken that long to notice).
>From looking at the debug logs, this error seems to have started
happening on April 1 (an interesting date), but not clear why. That's
long enough ago that I can't remember if anything interesting happened
then. But, I can imagine nobody commenting it for that long (and the
monitoring procedure I have only checks that it gets _something_ and
apparently this error page passes the test, time to improve that, as
well :-).
So, if someone can determine from that output what's wrong, or make
some useful suggestions on where to go next in debugging the problem,
I could really use the help. I'm quitting for the night having spent
several hours tracking it this far. I expect to get back to it
tomorrow (if it's been broken over 3 months, another day will hardly
count). Because of time-zone differences, hopefully I'll have
recieved some useful suggestions by then...
