CMS Made Simple Forums

Did you pass checksum?

PHP version?

File permissions on that file?

Does that file exist?

With programming languages, don't even bother trying to decipher what it's trying to tell you. Just apply commonsense troubleshooting methods.

I have just been dealing with the same error message after installing version 1.7 base

I have looked at the server. The php is 5.1.25

I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it and I don't know what else to do from here? Any helpers?

We don't support PHP 5.1...  look at the release notes for CMS 1.7

I am free right now. If you PM me FTP and CMSMS admin password I can go look. Hosting password will help as well. If not, then you will need to post much more info here, including your system information, your config.php, etc.

I will probably have to downgrade to 1.6.7 or modify your php.ini/.htaccess

I have received this same error message after updating CMS Made simple from 1.6.7 to 1.7.
If anybody has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. I tried downgrading to 1.6.7 again, but received the same error.

After working with things some more, I tracked it down to my PHP Version I was running on my site (which happened to be 4.4.9).

My quick solution was simply downgrading to 1.6.7. Alternatively, I could have updated PHP, but that would have required a full backup of my entire site.

Wow... no matter how many times you put out documentation, and in how many different places..  many people just refuse to read it.

I know that some people do refuse to read documentation, that's true, but there is conflicting information on the site.

For example the release note for v1.7 states that PHP4.x is no longer supported, yet the documentation's System Requirements page still says PHP 4.3+ and doesn't make any special note about that not applying to v1.7.

Where exactly? The wiki requirements were updated, I couldn't find what you are talking about.

The wiki requirements were updated about 20 minutes after I posted that comment.

And that's exactly how open source works. First second I saw your post, I headed to wiki myself to update it, but was too late.
