CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm new to this particular cms, but managed to install it successfully (well, the check system said it was installed successfully, that is).

I'm not sure how to ask this, but here goes.  There is a folder called cgi-php that has a file in it called phpwrapper.....This is a file, not a folder, but when I am on the index.php page that says CMS Install Successful! and I click on any link, for instance, the "Print This Page" link - the path that shows at the bottom of my browser is:
/cgi-php/phpwrapper/index.php?page=1&print=true
and I click on that link, I get a "Page Not Found".  Um, also, in my config.php file, the word throughout the page came up as phpwrappe  --- without the r, so I went in and added the r to complete the word for the commands to complete....or should I have simply deleted the r off the phpwrapper file in the cgi-php folder?  In any case, none of the links on the index page are still working - I'm still getting a "Page Not Found".  I think (and I could be wrong) that this is because it is trying to see the phpwrapper as a folder, with other files in it?  Any ideas on what I need to do to correct this?
Thanks,

What URL did you use to get to the installer?

Um, I unzipped and uploaded the files to lebanonvalleyimplement.com, in the cms directrory.  There was an install folder with an install.php file inside of it.  So the full Url I used to literall install the program was
http://lebanonvalleyimplement.com/cms/i ... nstall.php

I have since then deleted the install folder because when I first went to the admin section there was a message that came up to remind me that I needed to delete that folder (which I thought was very clever, btw).

But maybe that wasn't what you were asking?  To download the program I was on http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/downloads.shtml and clicked on the tar.gz file for downloading.

Did I answer your question, or did I misunderstand what you were asking?

I forgot to mention a couple of other things which may or maynot be relevant.  In following the installation instructions, I was to chmod some folders/files - two of which were uploads and uploads/images.  These two folders did not exist, so I created them, then made the chmods according to the instructions.  Also, my database is not named cms - but I changed the config.functions file appropriately in the lib folder. 

So, in config.php, change all instances of http://lebanonvalleyimplement.com/cgi-php/phpwrappe to http://lebanonvalleyimplement.com/cms.

Also, as far as the database name, you can change it during the install process (or at least in config.php, not lib/config.functions.php).

Well now, that works!  Thank you very much.
Curious, though, about the cgi-php/phpwrapper .....what is its exact function in the scheme of this cms (which is a great cms compared to the ones I've tried)?  Eh, you don't have to answer the question, as I'm sure you are quite busy answer other noobie problems.  Thanks for your time on this - is there a place one can make a donation to this project?

To be honest, I'm not sure about the cgi-php/phpwrapper stuff.  It sounds like your host is using a non-standard way of setting up php, probably for good reasons that I'm not aware of.  The installer uses values given from the web server for which paths to use in config.php, and I guess that phpwrapper thing isn't returning the right values...  At least it's easily fixed.

There is a donation button on the http://cmsmadesimple.org home page.

Thanks!
