hi kens,

that is right. There is no master template. It is a very free system.

Please have a look:

Hi knut,

Thanks for your information. When I link to login.php to access admin control panel. It also show nothing in the page. Is it something wrong with my installation or i just goto wrong place to login as admin? I am the php newbie, thanks for the guide.

Regards,
Kens.

Hi Kens,

Code: Select all

.... When I link to login.php to access admin control panel. It also show nothing in the page... 
That isn´t right.

Please check yout path settings in conf.inc.php. Normaly we have this settings:

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms['site']              = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/';
.
// paths
$phpwcms['DOC_ROOT']          = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$phpwcms['root']              = '';
Regards Knut

missing conf.inc.php-file

Post by stemmen »

When I enter "www.domain.dk/login.php" I also only get an empty page. Everything went well during install - I have installed earlier versions before. The last step "download conf.inc" may be the problem. When wanting to replace the conf.inc-file it does not exist - however, there is a "dist.conf.inc"-file. Should I replace that or?

Copy the generated setup.conf.inc.php via ftp into your config/phpwcms/ folder and rename this file to conf.inc.php (right settings to 644 please)

No change...

Post by stemmen »

I downloaded conf.inc.php after setup. I put it in config/phpwcms (in older versions it replaced the existing conf.inc, but now there is only dist.conf.inc). Then I moved setup.conf.inc into config/phpwcms and renamed conf.inc - and deleted the conf.inc I downloaded a few minutes earlier. This is the normal procedure but the screen is still just white.

Should I delete dist.conf.inc? What does that file do??? Where is the "old" conf.inc-file?

Please do "The same procedure as every year“ -> „Well, and Sophies answered: „same procedure than every year!" :D

Copy the setup.conf.inc.php into /config/phpwcms/conf.inc.php

And have a look into this config file. All right there?

Everything seems ok in that file. What should I look for in particular?

You wrote "Copy the setup.conf.inc.php into /config/phpwcms/conf.inc.php" - you mean replace right? "The same procedure etc" :-)...

and what about that dist.conf.inc-file?

Templates

Post by elysier »

Hi,

here are some nice templates. They`re very easy to install and to modify.

http://phpwcms-templates.de/templates.phtml

phpwcms-templates has a very good forum, too.

Actually, the site is http://www.stephanie.dk/struer

I have install older versions many times before without problems. I think it has to do with downloading and replacing the "conf.inc"-file etc. See my problem described above.

When I enter http://www.stephanie.dk/struer/login.php I only get a blank white screen...

i saw your problem and understand it.

do you have installed a template and copied the admin sites?

Have you created a mysql databse and have you the right information in the config.inc.php?

That the right standard path settings for you:

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms['site']              = 'http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'/';
.
// paths
$phpwcms['DOC_ROOT']          = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$phpwcms['root']              = 'struer';
.
