Hi!
Sorry, but I don’t know how to solve your problem! I’m just surprised at how similar my problem is to your’s. Not just the error message, but also the numerous containers, the developer being out of the picture, and how the source code is in a non-working state.
I’m not sure, but perhaps the discussion about my problem over here might be of use to you? It isn’t the same problem, but you seem to know more about web development than I do – maybe you can sift through this and find something of use?
Good luck to both of us! I’m going to get some rest before I try to think about it again…
