Parent page is not available

[vaughan]

Hi

I am new to CMS made simple and web development so please bear with me.

I have a fresh installation of cmsms version 1.11.7. I'm using PHP 5.4.4-14, and MySQL (4.1+). This is all working with Lighttpd running on Raspbian (Linux).

If I login to the admin panel with the admin user account I created during the installation and attempt to add content there is no option to select a parent page, if I submit my content to be added I get a message stating that I must select a parent page and if I can't see this option I must contact my administrator.

Am I correct that this is not a permission issue for the user I'm logging in with as it is an admin user. Could the issue be due to using a different database name and table prefix than cms_ when completing the installation?

I am trying to use the add content or edit content options in order to customize the default content that is displayed after installation through http:\\localhost\cmsms
Your help will be greatly appreciated

We will need the info from the system info page in admin pasted here...

Yes, correct.

Could the issue be due to using a different database name and table prefix than cms_ when completing the installation?

No, I do that often.

http:\\localhost\cmsms

Wrong slashes, but guess that's a typo.

Keep thinking I saw a topic about this a while ago, but did not find it yet. Don't know the solution either, if one was provided.

Did you install the sample content and if you did and edit a content page, is the parent dropdown visible then?

Try: clear cache (Admin -> System Maintenance)

Provide System Info as drCss suggested.

----------------------------------------------

I'm not sure whether or not the default content was installed correctly. If I go to the page manager there are no current pages displayed. I haven't been able to try editing pages because of this.

I downloaded cms version 1.11.7. Extracted the files to my var/www/cmsms directory and ran the installation steps in my browser via localhost/cmsms/install. I'm not sure where the option to install the default content comes in using these steps.

I have cleared the cache as you suggested and I still have no current pages in the page manager.


I have also found that when looking at the admin log after going to the page manager there are a number of errors there stating "failed to get content for valid content id"

What I do know is in a default install there should AT LEAST be one content page installed.

IIRC you even need to untick a checkbox to get only one page, else a lot of sample content will be installed.

It looks like it did not succesfully complete the installation (database import).

[Dr.CSS]

You get the choice to install default content at the same point, step 5, that you give it the DB credentials, at the bottom, 2 check boxes, Create tables and Install default content...

I would run install again and look very carefully at each step to see any clues as to errors/warnings...
