Cannot get PHP to work on new site... what am I doing wrong?

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Cannot get PHP to work on new site... what am I doing wrong?

Post by dorlow »

Hi, I'm trying to setup a cms made simple site using godaddy to host my site.  I can't seem to figure out how to get the php working.  The cpanel says I have php 5.x.  Here's my site I'm trying to make...

http://montcalmcomputers.com/index.php

When going to this, you get this...




I think I have all the permissions correctly setup in the directories where the files are at.  

I've been following instructions on this site...

http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ck_Install

I'm not a unix expert, but I think the chmod 666 is read and write for the user, group and everyone.  I can't chmod the file on godaddy or using my ftp program, so I just logged in using my ftp program and changed the permissions to the equivalent.  That's at step 5.  Step 6 just had me create users in my sql database control panel.  I did that.  

Step 7 says the web setup should start working by going to the install link above or by going directly to it at...

www.montcalmcomputers.com/install/index.php

This link doesn't work at all... acts like the index.php isn't there.  It is. 

Any suggestions on what I should check?

1. You need to contact GoDaddy, because what you're experiencing (relative to php code being displayed instead of parsed) is not a CMSMS issue.

2. Once you have PHP working, you need to verify and re-verify that you uploaded your CMSMS files to the root of your website, and not to a subdirectory.  If you uploaded to a subdirectory, you obviously need to run the install from the subdirectory path, not the root.
