Hey Guys,

I see others have had this problem but I can’t find an appropriate solution.

I have just installed EE.  On completion I got the screen saying all installed.  I can log in the Cpanel and create templates etc.  However, when I visit my site I get:

The system does not appear to be installed.  What does this mean?  How do I fix it?
Have installed EE several times b4 but never come across this!

Thanks

Shelley

Double check your $system_path in path.php- make sure it’s correct.  If that doesn’t help- can you paste your path.php file contents here?

Hey Here’s my code from path.php ...I checked it which seems to have the correct path:

<?php

//———————————————————————————
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

//———————————————————————————
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = “./admin/”;

//———————————————————————————
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
//———————————————————————————

$template_group = “”;
$template = “”;
$site_url = “”;
$site_index = “”;
$site_404 = “”;
$global_vars = array(); // This array must be associative

?>

That looks good. Do you have a config.php in your “admin” directory? What permissions does it have? How many lines does it contain?

Everything will be good in the end. If it’s not good, it’s not the end.

Hey,

My config in the admin folder is set to 666.  It contains 25 lines of code.
Thanks for helping me with this.
