CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

I would appreciate some help please. I am trying to install CMS on my local Windows PC and have got to the following step (after downloading all the most recent versions as currently recommended on your website):

Start the installation script:
We walk through the installation, based on version 1.4.1. Point your browser to http://localhost/cmsmadesimple.

When I click on the link, I am not taken to the Install System, but instead it seems to re-download the CMS file as it does in this earlier step:

Install CMS Made Simple
-->> Download CMS Made Simple from http://cmsmadesimple.org (look for the file with something like full.tar.gz in the name e.g. cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-full.tar.gz). "Full" package includes support for many languages. People only interested in English language will save space and time with the "base" package

Please let me know how I should proceed. Your help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

Mark

Reneh,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am following the instructions here: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... Windows_PC

but when I get to the Start the installation script section and I click on http://localhost/cmsmadesimple, I am not directed to the screen that says Install System (as shown in Installsystem.png) but instead a file called cmsmadesimple is downloaded by my browser and I don't know what to do with this downloaded file or how to get to the Install System page.

Anyway, I hope that is clear and I'd really appreciate some further guidance if possible.

Cheers,

Mark

If something is downloaded on that step - it is something totally wrong.
Did you really do the steps above (in "Install CMS Made Simple" step) - like extracting the downloaded packet and move to you server location?

I went to http://localhost/cmsmadesimple/admin and then deleted the "/admin" section and it is now working. Thanks for all your help.
