Hi, have installed phpwcms with no problems (I think). I click LOGIN and I am taken to the login page. I login using my name and pass and click LOGIN, underneath USERS ONLINE I see my username. That is about as much as I can do. There are no links on the page apart from START HERE but this just takes me to the root (index.php) (which I know is a blank page).

the installation folder is set at localhost/phpwcms. When installing all folders needed were showing green and I copied the confic file to the correct folder

I hope I don't look like a fool.

Thanks in advance for any help given...

:?: :(

Hi allflex2002,

1. What phpWCMS version you are using?
2. What type of webserver you are using: Apache or IIS?
3. What type of operating system you are using: Windows or Linux?
4. All file/folder right ok? http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/installation_en.phtml
There are no links on the page apart from START HERE....
Please take a screenshot.

Please let us have look to your conf.inc.php

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms["site"]              = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/";
$phpwcms["admin_email"]       = "webmaster@mydomain.tld";

// paths
$phpwcms["DOC_ROOT"]          = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
$phpwcms["root"]        		= "";         //default: ""
$phpwcms["file_path"]         = "phpwcms_filestorage";    //default: "phpwcms_filestorage"
$phpwcms["templates"]         = "phpwcms_template";    //default: "phpwcms_template"
$phpwcms["content_path"]      = "content"; //default: "content"
$phpwcms["cimage_path"]       = "images";  //default: "images"
$phpwcms["ftp_path"]          = "phpwcms_ftp";     //default: "phpwcms_ftp"
.
.
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']     = '/home/www/xxxx/html';

ALSO, try ~temporarily~ disabling your firewall / security center / anti-virus... to determine any conflicts.

Finally.................

OK this is what I done.

. Removed all instances of everything. This inluded PHP, Webserver (which was Apache) and MySQL.
. Installed WAMP5 (v1.6.1) ( http://www.wampserver.com/en/index.php )
. Created a new database called phpwcms (for testing)
. Extracted phpwcms v1.2.5-DEV to the root folder, in this case this was WWW folder in the WAMP directory
. Ran through the setup process basically accepting all defaults (except database stuff)
. Removed setup folder
. Logged in and BOB'S YOUR UNCLE, IT WORKED.

:D

Congratualition .........

and remove all 1.25 and install the latest version of 1.26DEV http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/index.php?cvs_info_en :D
or make an update http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/update_1.x.x_en.phtml (first is the better method)
