access /panda_sample/ to see error.

• Panda error (with CSS) will show.
• trace link works
• notice and strict error was shown in fireBug console with firePHP

If you confirm everything above, it is OK.

2. set debug mode with Panda::CONFIG_DEBUG
3. Include panda_ini.php after set_error_handler() if you use some framework. Otherwise first line or after require PEAR.php is OK in most cases.

require '/path/to/panda_ini.php';
