CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

I am using the latest CMSMS version 1.6.

I developed my site on my local PC, now I want to upload it to my web host (GoDaddy) and replace the FrontPage site that I currently have there.

I followed the instructions here: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... er_.281.29

Everything seemed to go fine.

How do I "swicth off" my FrontPage site now and get the host to use CMSMS?  I tried uninstalling the FrontPage extensions, but that hasn't helped.

Thanks

Remove from root folder: index.htm or home.htm or default.htm

I'm not quite sure which of the following fixed the problem for me:

1.  I had set the incorrect db_hostname in the config.php, I had used an IP address that was displayed in phpmyadmin, however it should have been this:

$config['db_hostname'] = 'p50mysql255.secureserver.net';

I found this out by searching for "GoDaddy" here and found an article that explained how to determine this.  I needed to go to the Hostong Control Centre, then select MySQL from the Database section and click on the Pencil icon to view the settings.  this displayed the hostname.

However, this did not seem to fix the problem by itself.

2. I renamed my Default.asp to Default1.asp.

Still no luck.

3. I renamed my Index.html to index1.html

Finally my site was displayed in CMSMS!  

Thanks Alby,

in the meantime I spent some time fiddling and that seems to have been the solution.
