Only thing i see at
www.quick-hands.com/cms/ is "cmsmadesimple-1.6.6-full
.tar.gz".

First you have to untar it on server or if you have ftp access only - extract archive on your local machine and just then upload them all over ftp (in this case it will take some time but its only proper way to do it).

Download cmsms installation file
Go into hosting control panel file manager and uncompress the file (or uncompress on your computer, and ftp all files to server, slow and not recommended)
run /install
If you cannot do this then much more handholding is required either from your hosting support or clearly formulated questions on this forum.

It looks like server is calling "index.html" first instead of "index.php".
Delete "index.html" files from directories "/cms/" and "/cms/install/".

It is hard to tell anything about server configuration. But first i would check php memory_limit it should be at least 16M or better - 24M .
Sometimes it is easier to transfer site from local machine to server. In this case need to create DB and DB user, edit config.php according server (paths and urls)
You can use this config to start. You will have to adjust DB connection settings and $config['root_url'] and $config['locale'] = '';
EDIT
this config is for urls like "
http://sitename.com/index.php?page=page-name" and
not for "
http://sitename.com/page-name"

Post a list of things that you have done. What files you have uploaded to server (were they the same from your local server ?) what changes have you done to config.php.
I looked, if admin login page was active. It was not, though it gave me some info, that probably you didn't >:( create data base and user to connect it.
Code: Select all
Database Connection Failed
Error: Access denied for user 'cms'@'localhost' (using password: YES) (1045)
Function Performed: CONNECT
Host/DB: localhost/cms
Database Type: mysql
Fatal error: Attempt to connect to database cms on cms@localhost failed
You have to connect to Data Base with administrator or root user and
Add new user "cms" and
Create database with same name and grant all privileges ( user named "cms")

Many thanx to
