#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...

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.

TracTickets for help on using

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.
