Homepage is not being created in the right directory?

Post by Trevorl »

So I just finished installing CMSms on a new go daddys server running mysql 4.1, php 5.2.8 and the new apache. When i installed CMSms I already had an index.php file. That is still what comes up even though I have CMSms installed and as far as I can tell properly as well. I was also unable to locate where CMSms puts pages it creates. Because that could be a simple javascript onload go here solution.

You need to read the documentation to get a foundational understanding of how CMSMS works.  It does not create "pages" in the traditional sense of the word.  It uses page templates and stylesheets to create the page layouts on the fly, and then populates these layouts with content pulled from the database.

I do understand how cms works I generally build my own but I am attempting a large site so I wanted to try this product. I read the documentation on it to see if it could help and I build my homepage along with a few others including the templates and stylesheets and they look great in the previewer but i cant get it to load when i go to my sites url.
