CMS Made Simple Forums

After installing te CMS as descripted on the website, I clicked the link on the index.php to the admin.php.
The admin.php shows a blank screen, allthough the installation was succesfull.
I tried viewing in both Firefox 2 aswell as in Internet Explorer 7.
Any suggestions about how to solve this?

Not a single warning ? I have no clue except this :

So that would mean a problem with PHP version 5? My provider runs version 5. Is there anything to do about it?
I don't know much about programming

tokenizer should only be effecting the site display. I can still log in and see all backend stuff.

ohh, and admin.php doesnt exist.


admin/index.php is what you should be looking for.

The thread I was quoting above is advicing to ask your provider to enable the "tokenizer". But don't ask me what it is.

Relax : you don't need programming skill to use CMSms.

And yes, factor1 is right : please look for /admin and not admin.php

Unfortunately I'm getting the same issues. 

I thought it might be because my session.save_path was not set in my php.ini file.  I created the folder, chmod to 777 and modified my php.ini file.  Still the problem persists.  I get a blank screen when go to admin/ and admin/index.php

I also checked that my browser was accepting cookies from the site.

Very strange. Please describe more.

I did get a "yellow signal" during installation dealing with the session.save_path was not defined and that there was only 8 MB of RAM allocated.  I got no other warnings or failures during the installation.

Not too much I can do with the 8MB of allocated ram, but i created a session folder below the public_html folder, chmod and added it to the php.ini file.

I just did a var_dump on $_SESSION and it came up null.  My cookies for the site show
CMSSESSID# with a UID and a path of root
cms_language value of en_US and a path of /admin/

Please try reinstalling to see if the yellow signal has gone.
If not double check the name and the case of the folder... and maybe php.net about sessions.
Once PHP hosting is ok (with session enabled) CMSms has no problem.

That worked.  Thanks.  I got the same errors from the original time I did the install, but it I can now log into the admin section.  I probably didn't follow the install instructions fully the first time around.  n00b mistake.
