Error trying to install PowerCMS

Error trying to install PowerCMS

I add my first cms area but it doesn't continue to to the install. When I click on Edit in PowerCMS, I get the error:

Could not find admin on site.
Browse to the page through the CMS admin to edit content.

When I go directly to the directory /install_cms/ from the browser. It starts the install, but after it checks that everything is ok and I proceed, it gives me the following error when trying to get to the database.php file.

The website cannot display the page

HTTP 500

Most likely causes:
•The website is under maintenance.
•The website has a programming error.

What you can try:

Refresh the page.

Go back to the previous page.

More information


I deleted the install_cms folder. Is it supposed to recreate it? I had copied that from another site I successfully installed the cms in. I also deleted the WA_CMS folder. The security was changed from using the Webassist security as well but I'm not sure if this comes into play.

thank you.

on the page that this error is showing, add the following code at line 1 to turn error reporting on:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>



once we know the error we can troubleshoot the cause.

If you delete the Install_cms folder, it will not be recreated.

the error is:

Warning: require_once(../webassist/framework/library.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /srv/www/vhosts/theharbinger-jonathancahn.com/httpdocs/install_cms/database.php on line 6 Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '../webassist/framework/library.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php5:/usr/share/php5/PEAR') in /srv/www/vhosts/theharbinger-jonathancahn.com/httpdocs/install_cms/database.php on line 6

Is this something caused by me? I simply don't remember where the install_cms came from originally? I believe I copied it to this site from another site in which I had installed it successfully. Should I just copy that folder over to the webassist folder?

UPDATE - I copied missing files step by step and supposedly in went through the installation successfully, but when it got to the page 'complete.php' I got the same error message about not being able to display the page (the page is in the folder though). So I figured maybe it's working anyways. When I add content and then click on Edit in PowerCMS, I'm still getting the error:

Could not find admin on site.
Browse to the page through the CMS admin to edit content.
