Hi,
I purchased 2 licences to have in stock for clients sites. I am not familiar with CMS Builder. I have used Article Manager on a number of websites and it has been great.
Is it possible for me to install a demo of CMS Builder in a sub directory on my business website so I can familiarize myself with the software and work on template designs.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter, welcome to the CMS Builder forum.
Yes, I'd just use one of your 2 spare licenses and then when you build a website for a client just use that license for them.
Having a second install with the same license for staging purposes is totally fine and if you're done using a license on one website you're free to use it on another instead.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks Dave,
I have gone ahead and done an install on my website and have come upon an error and got the following message.
'Please disable the 'safe_mode' setting in php.ini.'
How would I go about this.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
The quickest route would be to ask your web host if they can disable safe_mode or instruct you how to do it. The instructions can be different depending on the host.
"Safe Mode" basically is a PHP feature where you can disable parts of PHP. It ended up causing more harm than good so the PHP people have removed it from the latest PHP in development (PHP6) but some hosts still have it turned on. Most will turn it off or tell you how if you ask them.
Hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything else I can do to assist.

Hi!
I also received this error message after upgrading. I've contact my hosting company & they've indicated that safe_mode is off. See this link to verify http://anthonyrealtor.com/info.php
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi James,
There's two options.
1) If you want to email me FTP info and the url to CMS Builder I can login and take a look. If we need to change the code I'll patch your version and add it to the next version. Email dave@interactivetools.com (don't post login details to forum).
2) If you open /lib/init.php you can just remove this line and the error will go away:
if (ini_get('safe_mode')) { $errors .= "Please disable the 'safe_mode' setting in php.ini.<br/>\n"; }
If safe_mode is on though you may get other errors:
Hope that helps!

Hello again Dave,
I did remove the code as you suggested & did indeed get further errors. You may view them here: http://anthonyrealtor.com/cmsAdmin/admin.php
Using Adobe Go Live I checked the permission on the first several files indicated in the error messages & they are (by everything I can tell) set to be writable.
What's our next step?
Thanks again,
.james.

That's a normal message. It's just an extra check we run to make sure the permissions are set and notify you if they aren't.
You need to set the file permissions with FTP. There's more details in the install instructions under 5) Set File Permissions:
http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/install.html
Basically you just need to FTP in and set those files to chmod 0777
Hope that helps.

Yay! Progress! Thanks Dave!
However, I'm left with the following errors:
Please make the following files and directories are writable:
/home/anthony/anthonyrealtor.com/cmsAdmin/uploads/thumb/ (doesn't exist)
/home/anthony/anthonyrealtor.com/cmsAdmin/uploads/thumb2/ (doesn't exist)
/home/anthony/anthonyrealtor.com/cmsAdmin/uploads/thumb3/ (doesn't exist)
/home/anthony/anthonyrealtor.com/cmsAdmin/uploads/thumb4/ (doesn't exist)
You can verify via the URL I gave you in my previous post.
Do I just need to create these as empty directories & set them to chmod077 also?

Yes, exactly. They should have been included in the zip you received (in v1.12) but if for any reason they didn't get created just create them now and set the permissions.
Let me know if you run into any other issues.

Should the permissions be recursive for these directories?

Hey again Dave...
Hmm.. Well I'm in. Kind of. I'll email you my login information for CMS Builder so you can take a look at what's going on now.
Thanks again for you time!

Hi James,
It normally is a very easy process without any of these snags. Sorry you keep running into roadblocks!
It looks like something has mangled the HTML in the program templates. See below:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///Users/jamesjackson/Desktop/cmsbuilder_1_22/cmsAdmin/lib/menus/css/thickbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
The part in red shouldn't be there.
You're going to need to revert to an unmodified version (from the zip if needed) and find a way to upload the files without having them be automatically modified like that.
If you post the name of the web editor you're using someone else might have experience with it and be able to tell you how to adjust the settings so it doesn't do that. (Or just look around in the settings).
Hope that helps!

I'm using Adobe Go Live 7.0.2 on a Mac running OS 10.3.9. Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Have a look through the settings and see if there is any you can toggle so that it doesn't re-write links. Those file:// links won't work anywhere but on your local computer.
