CMS Made Simple Forums

Thanks to all for your info.
my big problem was with the document path in the config.php
once i got that straightened out every thing is working fine.

i transfered the files to my isp ipowerweb.
cmsms ver 4.1 php 4.4.7 and mysql 5.0.45 running on linux with apache

i can get to the admin panel, but the main page is blank
it has one horizontal line on the page.

of course, i'm very new to cms and would appreciate any help

i guess the main thing is Global Settings says
"Cache folder is not writable. Clearing cache will not work. Please make the tmp/cache folder have full read/write/execute permissions (chmod 777). You may also have to disable safe mode."

i have checked all the items and they are correct, but the sign won't go away.
the cache folder is 777 and php safe mode is Off.

sorry, but its my first time using a forum and i'm not sure about how to ask the right questions.

If you are using your ISP space to host this they more than likely won't like it or let you, try a hosting provider, some are very affordable...

thank you
i think i can do it if i follow directions.
the cmsms doc tells me how to copy my cms from wamp (on my computer) to my isp.
i just didn't do it right.
sorry for the bother

the special characters in the file names will not allow transfer.
is there a way around this problem.

Change provider 

Try (but this can breaking many modules!) to edit fileloc.php (in root of cmsms):

define("TMP_TEMPLATES_C_LOCATION", dirname(__FILE__) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'tmp' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'templates_c');

and drop _ char

thank you for your reply
i have it installed, but main page is a blank although i can get to the admin page.
i'm very new at this and don't really know how to ask the right questions.

enable il debug in config.php and look your server logs for other info, probably you have memory problem
