Hi,
i too and a novice in zend. I have been trying to familiar myself with this framework and have been using this site Akra’s DevNotes » Tutorial: Getting Started with the Zend Framework
as my north star.
However, i have had this error:

Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
