I loaded the files and got the admin page.
put in all my info.
Hit "finish" and got the "500 internal server error"

I closed and tried to reopen but now i still get it.
I even deleted ALL the files and reloaded after i realized that i made an error on upload and i'm still getting the error.

Hi there,

Hmm, I think I'll need to take a closer look at that. Can you fill in a support request?

Hi Tim,

Can you upload the attached simple hello.php script to the site and view it through a browser. It should output:
Hello World

Here is the code:

<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>

See if this works. If you can't run the hello.php file, check with your host to have PHP enabled.

The other thing to check is that you are uploading the files in the correct format. Usually the FTP client takes care of this but not always. Check that you are uploading the files in either "ascii" (for text files) or "binary" (for images).

Let me know if either of these suggestions helps.

Cheers,

hello.php won't run. Hoewver i got the admin.php to run already. (i.e. once before...not running now) strange.
i logged into the control panel for the server and it appears that PHP is enabled as well.

now that i have gotten through the install, i don't see how i can create my own interface (i.e. template)
i know how to build everything i need in HTML no problem. Where do i go to apply that to a CMS Builder Template?

thx
tim

Hi Tim,

Probably the easiest way to get started would be to create a section in CMS Builder and use the Code Generator to create a viewer page for you. Once you have your viewer page working, you can modify the HTML to make it look however you want.

Does that answer your question?

All the best,
Chris

umm..ok
i gotta say so far i'm really disappointed with the function of this program.
I've used many other CMS's programs and truthfully all of them are a little outta wack when it comes to admin UI, but this one is truly not fun...maybe i'm just dense. i don't know, but i don't like it.
If can't make this work the way i need quickly i'll be asking for my money back.
