That directory doesn't exist indeed. All requests are mapped to index.php using mod_rewrite (apache). Take a look at the .htaccess file in the root dir. You must allow the mod_rewrite directives to be executed in your VirtualHost configuration, if it is not yet (AllowOverride All or something like that). Anyway, I passed this phase and tried to access /gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml. The error I got was: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class HttpUtil in /Users/moraes/www/shindig/src/gadgets/HttpUtil.php on line 24 ...which is hard to debug because the line points to where the class is declared, and there's no traceback to see where it was included for the second time. I searched the code, fixed the double include, and got a GadgetSpecParserError - probably it failed to fetch the gadget and tried to parse an empty string. This, I believe, is a problem on my side - I probably miss a dependency for the external url fetch, or it is not well configured, I'll check that another time. (btw I tried this with the 1.0 download, not svn) And a side note, I'm working on a open source container in Python, to be deployed in App Engine. Shindig is helping me a lot to understand the specs. If you have interest in the project, please drop me a line. -- rodrigo
