CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,
I installed CMS on my web hosting server, everything worked fine - great product - built website etc.

Then set up local test server using Windows XP, IIS (localhost), installed PHP and MySQL 5. but when I installed CMS on my local server and clicked here is your CMS site - my browser displays the install page again (http://localhost/cmsms/install/install.php) when i change the url to force it to display index.php (http://localhost/drumlincdp/cmsms/index.php) it will not accept it and reverts to install again. When I remove the install folder it displays page not found. Any feedback would be appreciated.

sounds like installer couldnt create config.php file. index.php check for config.php existence and redirects to install if its not there.

any errors in installer?

Hi Thanks for your suggestion.

No errors in installer
The config.php only contains


I spent a lot of time configuring MySQL, PHP and IIS and getting them to work on my PC. It appears that it is not as easy to configure CMS to run on localhost than it was for the remote server. I am giving it up for the moment and going back to working on the remote server.

IIS has its own quirks..

sounds like a permissions problem....
have you granted anonymous access and IUSR account access to your directory?

That is the problem. install.php should contain much more than that.
Maybe you could copy your config.php from the remote server and the change all the usernames, passwords, paths, and URLs to the correct ones to work on your local server.
