GoDaddy install fine|Admin Login fine|Public site won't show

Post by DougJoseph »

Hello! This is my first time to try to install phpwcms. I'm fairly experienced in web dev, but I'm rather new to PHP.
  • The install (On GoDaddy on a MS IIS 7 server) went great! All showed green and "go." It flagged that safe mode was off. I accepted that.
  • It connected to the MySQL db just fine.
  • I took care of the config file, and I deleted the Setup folder.
  • I am able to log into the Admin area just fine.
  • I posted some "test" content.
But when I try to view the public site, I get nothing.

Note: I normally get a phpwcms message that says I cannot access the page directly:
You Cannot Access This Script Directly, Have a Nice Day.

See it here: http://www.lifeinfocusgroup.com/live/index.php

Note: I saw on here where someone said to place "define('PHPWCMS_INCLUDE_CHECK', true);" at the end of the config file. When I tried that, I was still able to log into Admin, but attempts to view the public site resulted in getting Google's "page not found" message.

Below are the details in reply to the checklist I saw posted.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.


Info about our current version of phpwcms:
phpwcms Version: http://phpwcms.googlecode.com/files/phpwcms_r345.zip
Hosting: GoDaddy.com
PHP Version: 5.2.5
System Windows NT P3SWH223 6.0 build 6001

Installation Troubleshooting Checklist

1. check your PHP Version - recommend > 4.3.0
Ours is 5.2.5

2. is safe_mode on -> recommend safe_mode Off
safe_mode was reported as OFF during the install.

3. register_globals should be set OFF
Where do I go to check this?

4. check permissions -> try to set every folder/file to 777 if problems still exists
I currently have every folder set to grant read & write permissions.

5. proof your path settings in conf.inc.php -> and if you post error messages related to file not found, permissions and so in - post the content of your conf.inc.php WITHOUT username/passwords

6. have you downloaded most current version of phpwcms
We download the latest version yesterday from
http://phpwcms.googlecode.com/files/phpwcms_r345.zip

7. check your GD-version if no ImageMagick installed: GD1 produces bad results.
The install showed all green and yes and checkmarks.
I don't know how to check this.
Can someone give me tips?

8. Please post good description and what you have done or not
See above.
