hello

did you read this

http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/installation_en.phtml

..yes, just after i posted the question..

sorry. BUT, when i finalized the installation and was to push the "login" button, this came up on the screen;
"We are sorry!

For service reasons the system is temporarily not attainable.

Visit us later again!"

any suggestions?

hello

yes i have a suggestion

1. you ran to fast truh the setup!

at the last screen of the install is an link that calles "download the created config file" normally you must download the conf.inc.php and then you need to overwrite the existing one in the config/phpwcms dir.

now you need to downlod the setup.conf.inc.php from the setup dir (via ftp) and then rename it to conf.inc.php and replace the existing one into the config/phpwcms dir.

i will try to do it again

thank you very much so far!

Pappnase · Post by **Pappnase** » Mon 13. Feb 2006, 04:24

hello

you don't need to do that!

only reupload the setup folder! adn drop all entries in the db!

During setup, also make sure to checkmark "create Admin account" and leave the suggested default Admin name and password (you can change it later, when things are working).

Ok, I made a video guide file (not the best quality in the moment).

Download: phpwcms_installation.divx

What you need?

1. DivX Play package from http://www.divx.com/divx/play/download/
2. DivX Player (comes within the DivX Play package)
3. Minimum 800x600 pixel monitor resolution.
4. Coffee

Don't forget, pause the video and do it step by step.
(Use your own username and password! Only samples in the video guide!)
