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:

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
Content-Length: 87
<p><font color="red">no such repository: (null)</font></p><div class="content"></div><div class="footer">
Fossil version no such variable: manifest_version no such variable: manifest_date
<hr><p><font color="red"><b>ERROR: no such variable: manifest_date</b></font></p>

DRH replies:
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.
