# Podcastrr - Solution to 500 Internal Server Error
## Problem
The application was returning a 500 Internal Server Error when accessing the root URL. This was likely due to the database not being properly initialized with the required tables.
## Solution
1. Created all necessary templates and CSS files for the application
2. Created a database initialization script (`init_db.py`) to create the required tables and default settings
3. Ran the initialization script to set up the database
## How to Run the Application
1. Make sure you have all the dependencies installed:
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
2. Initialize the database (if you haven't already):
```
python init_db.py
```
3. Run the application:
```
python main.py
```
4. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:5000`
## What to Expect
You should now see the home page of the Podcastrr application instead of a 500 Internal Server Error. The application allows you to:
- Search for podcasts
- Track podcasts
- Download podcast episodes
- Configure download settings
## Troubleshooting
If you still encounter issues:
1. Check that the database file (`instance/podcastrr.db`) exists and is not empty
2. Verify that all required templates are in the `templates` directory
3. Ensure that the CSS file is in the `static/css` directory
4. Check the application logs for specific error messages
