How do you log into an existing site.

Post by testok »

I am in the process for adding statcounter (a statistics program) to a sites footer and I can't figure out how to log-in as the admin, I've got what I think is the users name and password, but I can't bring up the admin interface to enter them. I must be missing something simple.
I've tried 'nassaubayroofing(dot)com/cms/admin' (sorry if I'm not susposta list the url, know how many forums are)
am I missing something simple?
This is the first time I've ever played with CMS, so I apologize if this is one of those duh questions. I'm not even sure what version it is, it was built early 2012, but not by me...anyway I'm stumped.

If CMSMS is installed on the site root, and there is no directive on config.php stating otherwise it should be <siteroot>/admin.

Your site has an /admin directory, but it's probably for some other software, as it's trying to read a file that doesn't exist. Do you have access to the file system? Can you browse the directories until you find the right one? /admin is default, but it can be changed.

Thanks for the replies.
Yes I can browse the directory. I've seen the admin file, what should I be looking for?

The files listed here should be in the admin directory: http://viewsvn.cmsmadesimple.org/listin ... d625341ef1
