CMS Made Simple Forums

I am self-hosted and I have successfully installed the CMS. My site index and pages look fine, there is nothing wrong with them.

However, my admin panel, is a completely different story! It's full of ? characters and isn't in the proper layout. I have installed this before (not on my server, but one from Go Daddy) so I know what it is supposed to look like, and it's not like this. Below are links, does anyone know:

1. What the problem is?
2. How to fix it?

Site: http://24.0.250.152/cms/
ACP: http://24.0.250.152/cms/admin/

Server Information:
Windows XP
Apachie 2.2.x
PHP 5.2.8
MySQL 5.0.67
phpMyAdmin 3.1.1

Are you sure it's XP as it has a lot of this in it...
�Mac OS X �..ATTR$-�.. �com.apple.quarantine�0000;49655ae1;Firefox;|org.mozilla.firefox�...resource fork intentionally left blank

I originally downloaded the files onto my mac, and transferred them, perhaps that's the problem! I'll try redownloading on the actual machine.

However, I can't find the latest version (1.5.1) available in a .zip format for my windows computer.

Alright, I have version 1.3.1 installed and working at http://24.0.250.152/cmsmadesimple/admin

However, where can I find a 1.5.1 installation in .zip format?

I have no problems opening the tar.gz with 7-zip http://www.7-zip.org/.  Download, install it, and then download the tar.gz file and open it with 7-zip.

Edit: Sorry I forgot you needed a mac program...ignore me.

No zip, get 7Zip and it will unpack it for you, very nice app. and free...

Im having the same problem.


So what is the official issue here? why is it freaking out?
whats the fix?

factor1,

What do you mean with the same problem? I suggest you follow the installation procedure as described in the wiki. You can download the 1.5.1 version from the website and use 7zip to extract the files.
