Unable to get Admin_cms to appear

I am endeavouring to put CMS on an existing webite but having a devil of a job to make it work on this occasion. I have had everything working correctly on my Wamp/local server.

The database is installed on the site and is working correctly, but I cannot get the /admin_cms to show up in my browser, although I know it's present on the site.

The url is www.asenby.net/ As soon as I add the admin_cms/ the page hangs.

Any ideas welcome.

a blank page means that a php error is occurring but error reporting is turned off.

to turn error reporting on, add the following code at line 1 of the admin_cms/index.php page:

php:
<?php

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



once we know what the error is, we will be able to troubleshoot the cause.

Hi Jason,

Have now installed the script as requested. Thanks for the quick reply.

the error is saying that the installed.png file cannot be found, this is a script file that is used for activation.

Here is a php version of the file for you to upload to the images/ folder.

the edit line 60 of the WA_Globals/WA_Globals.php file from:

php:
require_once("../images/installed.png");



to:

php:
require_once("../images/installed.php");
Attached Files
installed.php.zip

Jason,

Where does this particular images folder lie in the structure? The only images folder I csn find is in the install_cms. I do have an Images folder with a capital letter for my own images in the site tree.

ahhh, ok, that would cause the problem right there.

when you add Power CMS Builder to your site it will try to create a folder in the root called images, Since you already had a folder named images, it put the image files in your image folder, but by using a capitol I for the folder name, it is causing the PCMS Scripts to fail, this will happen on linux based servers where the folder names are case sensitive.


you should rename the Images folder to images.

Hi Jason,

I did as you explained above and to some extent it did work, but not satisfactorily unfortunately. I decided to redo the whole site and lo and behold, exactly the same format inside the admin folder has appeared again.

I have attached an image to show the result.
