phpwcms Support Forum

Hi,

Mac user in need of install help. I have downloaded verison phpwcms_1.3.3 and copied its contents into my site directory http://127.0.0.1/~sbirch/

PHP and MySQL are working OK but when I get to step 5 all I get on the last page is:

filestorage: phpwcms_filestorage FALSE (not existing)
temporary: phpwcms_tmp FALSE (not existing)
templates: phpwcms_template FALSE (not existing)
thumbnail list: thumb_list FALSE (not existing)
preview images: thumb_preview FALSE (not existing)
frontend content: content FALSE (not existing)
frontend images: images FALSE (not existing)
ftp takeover: phpwcms_ftp FALSE (not existing)

Anyone know what is happening?

thanks

hi there,

have had the same problems. put the files in: harddrive/library/webserver/documents
than you can call the files normally via http://127.0.0.1

Looks like ONLY as "textual" description...not as a configuration "value":

"/phpwcms_1.3.3/include/inc_lib/default.inc.php"(line 72):
$phpwcms["file_path"] = '/'.$phpwcms["file_path"].'/' ; // "/phpwcms_filestorage/"

"/phpwcms_1.3.3/setup/inc/setup.check.inc.php"(line 265):
$phpwcms["file_path"] = ($phpwcms["file_path"]) ? $phpwcms["file_path"] : "phpwcms_filestorage";

you can do so because all macs have apache and php built in on board. but (OSX 10.3.9) you need to install actual Apache, PHP, phpMyAdmin and MySQL libraries, too. You can do [download each] manually as well. But best would be instead --> not to install within local web server (personal web sharing!!) environment but rather install XAMPP for mac --> what is called --> MAMP.

You can download the package with all actual libs here:
http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp.html

By this your system core!!! files stay unattached! So you can move/delete the MAMP app [folder] wherever/whenever you want. No need to worry about changing your Mac OS System!

After the MAMP installation place your --> phpwcms installation into 'htdocs' [root dir] or any sub directory e.g. htdocs/cms_test/
BTW always [RTFM] read --> README!!!

or try this packages.
very easy to install
