I want to say right from the beginning... I LOVE GetSimple! I have tried Joomla (too complicated), Silverstripe (complicated and prone to break), ModX (couldn't even install it [yet]) and now, GetSimple. While it may not be sufficiently robust for a large corporate website, for a lot of small/medium-sized businesses, and almost any personal website, it is absolutely great -- IMHO. I wish I were a php-programmer so that I could create the plugins I'd like to see/have (e.g. a contact form), but as I am not, I'll just have to work with those who are and hope they'll try to develop for the Windows environment also.
Not sure how effective a beta-tester I'll be, but I'm willing to try. I design websites, but I'm just barely learning jquery and don't really program in php at all, although I can generally follow the logic -- possibly from my C++ and VB days.
One thing that I may be able to offer that there seem to be few of is that I'm running Apache 2.14 on Windows 7.
Here is my full server token line: [Apache/2.2.14 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8l mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.1 mod_apreq2-20090110/2.7.1 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.1]
And a list of all mods installed: [mod_apreq2.c, mod_perl.c, mod_php5.c, mod_autoindex_color.c, mod_status.c, mod_ssl.c, mod_setenvif.c, mod_rewrite.c, mod_negotiation.c, mod_mime.c, mod_log_config.c, mod_isapi.c, mod_info.c, mod_include.c, mod_headers.c, mod_env.c, mod_dir.c, mod_dav_lock.c, mod_dav_fs.c, mod_dav.c, mod_cgi.c, mod_authz_user.c, mod_authz_host.c, mod_authz_groupfile.c, mod_authz_default.c, mod_authn_file.c, mod_authn_default.c, mod_auth_digest.c, mod_auth_basic.c, mod_asis.c, mod_alias.c, mod_actions.c, mod_so.c, http_core.c, mpm_winnt.c, mod_win32.c, core.c]
If any of this helps you. Also, this server is in my home office so, if need be, I can set up a separate v-host and install another copy of GS in a sub-domain so that you can access it to your heart's content. Since I am not sure of the security of your back-end, if I were to make the back-end available to you, I would only do so to a very limited few and would request that we set-up Access/Password via private email. I would prefer that you not make those credentials available to just anybody, but if it will help in your beta testing I would be willing to take that risk.
Here's one of the first things (well, actually second, after noticing that the in-built contact capability was gone and which I am VERY, very sorry to see disappear), if one has uploaded, in my case, photos with spaces in the file name, it seems to give GS fits. Here are the errors I get when this happens (although, I must say, I'm impressed that it recovers so nicely):
Warning: getimagesize(../data/uploads/Kris+-+Metro+Station.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\trina\admin\image.php on line 47
Warning: getimagesize(../data/thumbs/thumbnail.Kris+-+Metro+Station.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp\htdocs\trina\admin\image.php on line 51
As I discover more, or have other questions, I'll be in touch.
Thanks again for the great CMS!
