Install page wont go away

Hi, I thought I had successfully installed the impress cms... I even logged into my admin page and after installing the news module and setting the module as the 'start' page... when I type in my web site, it now goes to the install page! here is my website:

I thought I deleted the install.php file from my directory... what's going wrong here?

Please help

Take the link out of your post, people can see your physical path.

After you install it you are supposed to delete the install folder.

If you have successfully completed the installation script you should be able to delete the install folder no problems.

You didn't delete the mainfile.php by any chance did you ? Also, did you set the cache/templates folders as writable?

I can understand your frustrations, we were all new users at one point.

Getting Started

After you read this, there is a link to the Installation Guide at the bottom of that page.

I read the instructions and re-installed the cms program for the fiurth time... I'm about to give up... the website is STILL pointing to the non-existant install.php page and not my news module.

Thanks Tom,

What was the problem? How can we improve our installation script to avoid these kind of problem ?

Re: Install page wont go away

There were no real issues from my side, I re-uploaded all the files to ensure they were done correctly, then installed it again and it worked straight out of the box.

The mainfile.php originally showed as being blank before I installed.

I believe taritrott is using some kind of web browser FTP, not sure if this caused some complications.

there was also another folder with ImpressCMS in, which was not web root (one above), It's possible he could of been uploading there rather than the web root where the main ImpressCMS was to be.
