Hello All,

I am having a problem with posting a new article on my site. This is the oddist thing. I can change the templates. I can edit an old article. But when I add a new it doesn't show up. No matter where I place it.

Its version 1.1RC4 that I am running on a linux server hosted by GoDaddy.com

I tried adding the article on two other sites that are running phpwcms and it works fine.

Can anyone give some insite on what is happening?

Thanks

Kelley

Hi,

It was a fresh install that I did back in July. It has been working great up until today.

I haven't changed anything with the Premissions other than the admin password.

I am going to set up a new users and see if that make a difference. I'll let you know.

Hello again,

I added a user with admin rights and it still doesn't work

Should I upgrade to a current version? I am at 1.1RC4 What is the most current?

Hello All,

This is really getting strange.

I didn't backup well

So I just installed the most current copy of phpwcms, release on the 27th of Aug.

Now its reinstalled and I can ad pages, edit templates and admin the site. But It won't allow me to add any articles now

Well I should say that I can ad them but they don;'t show up on the site.

I can't figure it out. If anyone has an idea, please help. The site is http://www.wireless-living.net and it is set at the default login until I get it working.

Thanks,

Kelley

hello

did you run the setup.php again or the upgrade.php!?

kelley · Post by **kelley** » Wed 15. Sep 2004, 05:26

I had to reinstall from scratch. I messed up the upgrade and couldn't get backup or mysql to work

So everything in this install is new.

kelley · Post by **kelley** » Wed 15. Sep 2004, 07:15

??? I don't know how. I'll download again. delete the database and reinstall it again.

Maybe this time.

hello

ok if you delete the db then you hae an fresh install!*gg
thuoght youinstalled it a second time on your server.

kelley · Post by **kelley** » Wed 15. Sep 2004, 08:35

okay here is what I have done.

1. deleated old database
2. downloaded new copy of phpwcms
3. created new database with different name
4. uploaded phpwcms to my root directory
5. changed permissions on directorys
6. ran setup.php

And still no articles

This is really pissing me off now! I want to get this site back up and running as soon as I can. Is there something I am missing? Why would it just stop working? Everything was running so nice.

hello

yes from where should phpwcms take the data (articles) if you don't make a backup and you delete all tables?!?

kelley · Post by **kelley** » Wed 15. Sep 2004, 18:06

Hello Pappnase,

Sorry, I didn't understand your last post, can you please explain again. The tables in the DB are new!

Do I need to do the patches to the current version?

I noticed that the text that wouldn't show up last night is now there. Did you change anything?
