I have created a default site and tried ading a page template which it complained about saying... could nto find <episerver> settings or something. I tried again and this time it complained about not being able to access the db to add it to edit mode, but it went and added the page anyway.

 This worked as I set the page to the start page in VS and ran it with no probs.

I then went into admin mode and added it as a page type giving it the correct path etc... but it gives me this error
