Nothing available after install

Post by fenneran »

I installed successfully (according to the wizard screens anyway), but when I go to the cms page (showing home, content types, menu/navigation, templates, extensions) this page seems to work fine.  I click on the link to cms/admin and I get a 404 error.  If I click on "content types", it tries to go to address: /cgi-system/php.cg/index.php?page=Content_Types.  (my installation is in the /cms directory) and I get a 404 for this one too.

If I try to address the browser directly to /cms/admin/index.php (which exists), I still get a 404. 

What the heck have I done wrong?

Thanks in advance,
Frank

Sounds like php is giving some weird settings to apache.  Your best bet it to look at config.php.  Modify any paths and urls that aren't correct (which is probably all of them).  After you do that, try loading up the page again.

Thanks, I'll have a look.  Seems like the mysql process at my host might have been fouled last night, which may be contributing to it as well.

So the host fixed all of their apache and mysql problems and I re-installed cms into the /cms directory.  All install screens showed OK.

At the last install screen, it asks for the document root.  It defaults to: /cgi-system/php.cg, but this directory is not created.

So here are the questions:
1. Should I just create this directory structure and re-install?
2. If not, where should the cgi-system/php.cg directory be? (in the directory tree) because it is not in tht /cms directory.

Sorry for such n00b questions, but I really want to get this running.

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem.  Fixed it by opening config.php and changing any paths containing "cgi-system/php.cg" to the correct path.

Works now.
