WAMP CMS Install

[stew]

I want to practice locally using WAMP before posting on a website. How is it best to install CMS Made Simple to a local server? Should I install it locally on the WAMP machine using FTP?

I also thought of just copying the file structure into the Apache WWW directory. Will this work?

Once installed locally, how hard is it to upload to a website? Do you just ftp the whole directory structure? How do you change logins and passwords?

I use WAMp also and have version of CMS running on it with no problems.

It matters on your WAMP setup but I put the cms folder in c:/wamp/www/.  I then create a database for the new cms install and start the install through the wamp localhost window (left click on wamp icon in system tray and select localhost, you will see the new folder under projects).  Run the install and put in all the proper info.

Hi,

I have WAMPinstalled on Windows XP (laptop). No problem. I created a database without any errors. I ran the installation file of CMS without any errors. Finally it said that the installation was complete and that I could start my cms. As result I got a 404-error. Please help me how to solve this error.

Thnkx!

I have made a directory e:\wamp\www\hanse311
In that directory, I find index.php This does not start: error 404, file not found

However, if I create a fil index.html with some text in it, I enter http://localhost/hanse311/index/html than the index.html opens

I had this trouble too until I created a MYSQL table exactly as in the instructions. I has tried to use an existing table. Suggest you look closely at MSQL user data in PHPAdmin

Korrigiere in der config.php so (von true)

$config['persistent_db_conn'] = false;

und dann läuft es.

Hee http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 848.0.html is the solution to make mysqli work with persistant connections - it is a bug with the session handling in include.php.

the solution is only to change the order.
