hi,

i have a little problem. i set up a german site with cmsms. now the server admin copied the site and set it to cmsmle version. looks pretty correct, but when i edit the content in admin area there occurs a problem: wether i edit the content in en_US or in de_DE (my two langs) the content is the same, it is always overwritten. in siteview it is the same content, wether i click the german or the english flag... has any one a suggestion? the real problem is, that the site admin is on vacation and i have no permissions to access the server or database.

regards

I don't have a troubleshooting and if you don't have permission of access it's very hard...
Have you FTP access?

- Check SQL fields VS README.FIRST or Visual Tutorial
- Check config_lang.php VS Visual Tutorial

With FTP access look to config.php for mysql params.
Install phpmyadmin and EXPORT your DB in SQL file

- Download xampplite and install in local PC
- Download your site files with FTP in xampplite/htdocs
- Start xampplite
- Call http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin and CREATE new DB
- in phpmyadmin IMPORT your DB from SQL file
- Call http://127.0.0.1/install/index.php for modify config.php with new local params (mysql: localhost, root, no password, new DB) WITHOUT overwrite tables in DB or default content
- Check in this local environment
