Receive HTTP ERROR 500 right off the bat after launching new workspace.

I am getting this error message after launching the new workspace for this segment and Previewing the workspace.

This page isn’t working port-80-xav7aajsen.treehouse-app.com is currently unable to handle this request. HTTP ERROR 500

I don't see anything wrong when comparing with the code in the video.

HTTP ERROR 500 is a generic server side error, meaning that it's coming from Treehouses's end. I would try it again a little later as it will probably resolve itself. :)

It is probably because of a little glitch in the video - when Alana copies and pastes the block of code (try catch statement) - she also removes the return $item, which is not very obvious, so please pay attention to this.
