I have to say, who the hell is responsible for maintaining documentation on this project? I mean I can understand relying on a seldomly updated or outdated Wiki for general user info (tho I would write the entire thing if it were my project on principle alone), not having accurate INSTALL NOTES?!?!?!

I spent, literally, over an hour fucking with this script trying to get the installation routine to finish and let me log-in. Only when I spent another 15 minutes digging around to find this post, WHICH ISNT EVEN PINNED TO THE TOP OF THE FORUM, did I get it to work. This "alternate location/approach" for 1.1.9 with regards to the conf.inc.php file isn't discussed ANYWHERE ELSE either on this site, in the doc notes, etc.

And no, I tried the link on teh final setup page and it STILL downloads the wrong conf.inc.php file. This is absolutely pathetic... I can safely say that phpwcms just took a quick trip to the bottom of my list of CMS options. Of all the CMSs Im considering this has been the most annoying by far.

look - i realize you have a lot of stuff to do - and the people who are trying to install your product also have a lot to do...

is there NO frigging documentation that is RELIABLE and in english.

afraid this is one cms that will probably go out into the realm of those that do this for a living - where they can scrape the frigging money off the clients in 2 mile wide strips.


bah! :x




new phpwcms install?
Don't forget to move setup/setup.conf.inc.php
to include/inc_conf/conf.inc.php.


explain : in english. please! thankyou!

my appologies! i am truly appologetic! i thought your command of the english language was equal to mine. again sorry.



do not use the word move in this fashion again. please.
new phpwcms install?
Don't forget to move setup/setup.conf.inc.php
to include/inc_conf/conf.inc.php.
instead please use the words :
rename the setup.conf.inc.php to conf.inc.php
and place config.inc.php in the config/phpwcms/ file folder

once i figured out what the problem was - it now works. you do see the difference??? anyways...

good thing i am a frigging stubborn person - your welcome.!! :lol:
