in reply to DBIx::Class issues : ->load_classes()?

You definitely need to get hold of the real error message rather than the web-server error.

Perhaps wrapping the __PACKAGE__->load_classes(); in an eval and then checking for an error which you can direct to your browser using use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);?
