#796 closed defect (fixed)

If there is a page called "foo", then trying to create a page called "foo/bar" emits an unfriendly 500 error page

Description

I tried to create a new page (events/chicken-uk-2012), thereby inaugurating the new "events" directory, but got a 500 error when attempting to actually save the new page.

Apparently this used to work, with missing path components being automatically generated...

Summary: Can't create wiki pages with not-already-existing directories in the pathIf there is a page called "foo", then trying to create a page called "foo/bar" emits an unfriendly 500 error page

Turns out that's a lie; the problem is that there was already a page called "events".

So I'm now changing this ticket to be one about nasty error messages :-)

Ideally, in this case, there should be an error message stating that you can't create subpages of a page; directory names and page names must be distinct.

This is now implemented simply by redirecting the user to the higher path which is a file when that's the case. If there are no new bugs we run into I will tag a new qwiki release soon.
