trident wrote: I installed cmsms 0.13 and do not get the inside pages. the {metadata} tags are already there in all the templates. I am using IIS on Windows XP and my PHP is 4.4.

For example -

http://localhost/lions/index.php/content_types

gives the error - page cannot be found!

if i type the following  (without .php) into the browser -

http://localhost/lions/index.php?page=content_types

it works

what could be wrong here?

I am building URLs like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/cmsmadesimple/i ... ccessories

All my pages are being built based on the page alias, wich in this case is Apparel-and-accessories

Can I build better URLs?

Thanks

Andy

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /

# 301 Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]

# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ FOLDER/index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

and upload it into the root of my site or in the root of the folder where I installed CMSMS ?

url.rewrite-final = (

I also made this changes in the config.php file:

#------------
#URL Settings
#------------

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;

$config['page_extension'] = '/';

$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;


then I inserted the {metadata} in all my templates between the {metadata}
and I am getting a 500 internal server error
What could be wrong?
