CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello good people of CMSMS.

Basically i just downloaded the latest CMSMS, and im trying to test it localy coz i wanna turn my existing site into an cms. anyway i put all the files in the root folder, and i didnt know how to check if its working so i went to the preview.php page, and couldnt connect to DB (didt know where to set the parameters). So i fixed that in lib/config.php (or smth like that).

But when i tried again the page was blank, nothing showed, and when i tried to view /admin/index.php nothing would happen, like the server wasnt running.

So why is it blank and how do  i check if its working ? How do i log into the admin area, so im able to do what i want ?

Thanks

What do u mean have i installed ?

I copied all the files to my root folder to test localy. Like i said when i first tried it said it couldnt connect to DB, so  iguess its working. I fixed that and now pages are blank.

How do i check if its working ?

Fixed it. Just checked index.php and installed it, i thought by installation was meant just to copy all the files to the root. My mistake, sorry, its all good
