CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,
I am using WAMP5 and I'd like to install CMSMS. However I am not able to find documentation how to do it. Is there any one who has done it and want to share how you did it? Novice needs help. Thanks.

Does not know WAMP5 but maybe it's similar like xampp (apachefriends.org).

1. Install local server WAMP5/XAMPP.
2. Be sure that apache and mysql server are running.
3. Go to localhost/phpmyadmin in your browser and create a database.
4. Extract CMSms archive and copy it to htdocs.
5. Create a file config.php and copy it to folder /htdocs/cmsmadesimple
6. Call localhost/cmsmadesimple in your browser. Now install procedure should running

Maybe you have to create/set a user for mysql before step 3 (not sure how familar you are with phpmyadmin).

Hello,

See these links, too: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Installation/Quick_Install and for ssh installation:http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Installation/Shell_Install

I use WAMP5 with CMSMS and it is easy to setup. Just copy the downloaded cms files to a subdirectory under c:\wamp\www (eg. c:\wamp\www\cmsms) and use the taskbar icon to get the WAMP phpMyAdmin screen to create an empty database. When you launch http://localhost it will give a nice page listing all "projects" for you where you will see a link to cmsms. Then you can follow the cmsms installation procedures as linked above.
