CMS Made Simple Forums

Due to certain hosting limitations I have to deal with Win2003/IIS6 platform. I am trying to install CMSMS 1.6.4. I beleieve we have PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5+ working on that server. (Wordpress seems to be running with no issues).

Problem starts after I uploaded all files to the server into it's own directory (CMS) and am trying to access index.php file. When I try to go to /Server/cms/index.php system seems to re-direct me to existing homepage of the site (which is index.htm in the root directory).

I have few questions, but main ones are:

1. How can I load CMS/index.php to complete the installation? This is a "live" environment and I can not disable INDEX.HTM.
2. Are there any step-by-step installation instruction for IIS6 platform? I know that it is NOT recommended (unless I master it), but maybe someone has been successful??

Thanks in advance.

Check your config.php settings if it is going to the root directory then you probably have the site variables wrong.

If you have a index.htm in the cms/ then make sure you are going to Server/cms/index.php instead of just Server/cms/

my CONFIG.PHP currently is at 0b - I just created an empty one and am trying to run install.

INDEX.HTM is in /SERVER directory (not in /SERVER/CMS) - to access CMS I am pointing to SERVER/CMS/INDEX.PHP - then it defaults somehow back to INDEX.HTM

then go straight to Server/cms/install/index.php

also make sure there isn't any IIS setting to redirect subdirectories to the root (IIS equivalent to .htaccess rewrite)
