Have the latest version of 3.3 setup, assuming release since development based on twitter seems to have stopped.  Get the login screen, however after logging in get the below error in the browser.

A problem has occurred.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

The same is valid for 3.2.r2 release (Mac and windows releases at least). By the way projects build with springsurf M3 yields the same error.

I am running this on Linux and updated a working 3.2r2 version.  Update went fine but final result was as posted.  Interesting that other release versions of 3.2r2 have this issue also.

I'm curious if this is truely 3.3 what is out there now.  Looks like all code updates have stopped but nothing has been physically released.

figured out my problem.  I had an opening comment block with <!— and a closing one with –> so had an extra dash in the opening essentially commenting out the whole thing.  Working now.
