When following the tutorial at [http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/doc/tip/www/quickstart.wiki], already in the second step (fossil ui <rep>) I can't see anything in any browser.

Here come the server console printouts:

<pre>
Fossil version no such variable: manifest_version no such variable: manifest_date
Status: 200 OK
Cache-control: private
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;no such repository: (null)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="content"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="footer"&gt;
Fossil version no such variable: manifest_version no such variable: manifest_date
&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color="red"&gt;&lt;b&gt;ERROR: no such variable: manifest_date&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
</pre>

I think this problem has been fixed in more recent versions of fossil.  
However, I am away from my office and cannot rebuild until this weekend.
If you can download the latest code and recompile yourself, it might
solve your problem.

While  using mingw compilled  Fossil (version [3f706b92a5]  from 2008-06-06) on Win XP SP2,  server console printout produces similar output.
It spawn empty browser window.

c:\soft\bin>fossil new myrep

[sqlite table myrep is created anyway]

This problem should now be fixed.  Either recompile using the latest
source code or else download the latest precompiled binary.  Thanks for the
bug report.  Please let me know if you find any other issues.
