Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

2.1.3 install successful but cant access admin [solved]

Post by howey »

Hi

I have just tried to install cmsms 2.1.3 on my local MAMP installation.

Everything seemed to go alright, no problems going through the installation setup until the end when I clicked to visit Admin Panel. I then got an error message: Unable to connect, Firefox can't establish a connection to the server localhost.

I can connect to previous installations of CMSMS 2.1.2 etc

MAMP Pro 3.5
PHP 5.5.26
MySQL Server version: 5.5.42

Any suggestions?

Re: 2.1.3 install seems successful but cant access admin

Hi

Found the answer, might be useful to others.

Initially I had the default config without specifying the ['root_url'], ['root_path'] and ['admin_dir']. I added all these to the config, bingo! all seems good.

This seems to be distinct to 2.1.3 as previous installations worked without these additions.
