Index of /test/admin Instead of Administration Panel

[Lincoln]

hello. I'm still struggling to get this thing to a place where I can begin designing my site.

Now, if I go to my site (http://bayflicks.net/test/index.php), I get the home page congratulating me. But when I click on the link to to Administration Panel (http://bayflicks.net/test/admin/), I get a file list.

Any suggestions?

Very odd, the index.php in the admin folder is not recognized as a index file.
When you contact http://bayflicks.net/test/admin/index.php directly it's executed and you get redirected to the login.
Maybe you should set it up with a .htaccess file containing

Code: Select all

DirectoryIndex index.php

(check if maybe there's a .htaccess present file in your web root folder?)

Hmm, as there's no .htaccess files in either the CMSMS root or the admin folder by default...
maybe check if there's any difference in ownership and permissions between the test/ and the test/admin/ folder.

They're both set so that Owner has all priviledges, and Group and All Users have Read and Execute but not Write. And now I can get onto the "CMS Made Simple Admin Login" page.

Except that NOW I can't get through that. It rejects my user name and password, which I know are correct because I can access the database through my host's control panel.

Any suggestions?

To login to the CMS Made Simple admin panel you use the username and password for the user you created during install (page 2) - not your database username/password.
