Site home page not enabled by default - jayadevu - 2021-04-19
Hi,
I am a new member and this is my first post.
I have uploaded GetSimpleCMS into a folder on my web site abc.com/public_html/GetSimpleCMS.
Now when accesing my site, I get a directory listing of the site instead of it accessing the home page.
However abc.com/GetSimpleCMS correctly shows my homepage.
What changes do I have to make, so the whenever my site is accessed, it points to the homepage instead of directory.
Warm regards,
Jayadev

Uploading and Installing the GS cms is one of the most easiest things to do.
Did you go through the forum posts for examples and help ?
Did you read the wiki for install instructions ?

If you need further support please inform us about your hoster and php version
you have to make screenshots of what you are doing.
imgbb is a decent screenshot share as it allows auto delete after x-time

Hi Felix,
Many thanks for your prompt reply.
Yes, I have gone through the wiki. I had accordingly installed getsimpleCMS in a folder as in abc.com/getsimpleCMS, hence as and when I type abc.com in any of the explorers, I get the directory listing of abc.com, but if I type abc.com/getsimpleCMS, my home page is activated.
So, I only need to know:
1. How to point to abc.com/getsimpleCMS as and when someone tries abc.com.
2. Or, how the admin\index.php can be activated as and when someone tries abc.com
Warm regards,
Jayadev

This is really a classical case with all cms systems
You have to adapt your rewrite base
One of the many forum posts about it here:

Maybe this can help further:

Further, copying the index.php and gsconfig.php into the public_html directory alone is not sufficient, shows a lot of errors of "path not found".
Changing only the GSADMIN variable to '/admin' and to 'GetSimpleCMS/admin' also does not seem to solve the problem.
Do I have to reinstall GetSimpleCMS into public_html directory and recreate the entire site again ?
The wiki mentions that GetSimpleCMS can be installed within a folder of the root directory also, but does not mention how to change paths.
Please help.
Warm regards,
Jayadev

Did you check the website url in the Admin settings?
