Hi. I could not install the CMS on my local Windows machine. Here are the details.

Steps: 1. I downloaded the ZIP file from the website. 2. Unzipped and deleted Workspace folder 3. created the database 4. filled in the install page and hit Submit.

I could not see any successful installation message. I was relocated into a folder. I cannot remember which. I thought the installation finished corectly. So I changed the URL to the root. I hit enter but I saw a page not found error. Then I changed the URL to ?mode=administration and hit enter afterwards it tried to get a non existing page http://127.0.0.1/test/cms/symphony_cms/symphony/blueprints/ There is no blueprints/ folder? Please, can you help me to resolve the problem?

Can you confirm what server environment you’re using? Apache… WAMP maybe?

It looks like Symphony was installed correctly. After installation it would redirect to /symphony/. Make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled and working. A URL such as /symphony/blueprints/ doesn’t actually exist on disk (there is no blueprints folder), instead rewrite rules in your .htaccess files map the URL onto index.php in the root.

Thanks for your reply. I use Apache on Windows 7.

PHP Version: 5.3.4 Apache Version : 2.2.15

Modrewrite is enabled. I think you are right. I shall check modrewrite Any idea how to test mod_rewrite? Thanks.

Any idea how to test mod_rewrite?

http://127.0.0.1/test/cms/symphony_cms/symphony/
http://127.0.0.1/test/cms/symphony_cms/symphony/blueprints/sections/

If both URLs are working, .htaccess is working.

Thank you very much for you help. mod_rewrite was enabled but AllowOverride was set to None for the doucment root in httpd.conf file. I set it to all. Now it works.

<Directory "f:/wwwrootPHP5">
.
.
.
    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride All
.
.
.
</Directory>
