login instead of install

[der Warst]

Hello,

I very recently started fiddling about with GetSimple. Also, this is my first time dealing with a CMS, so I might take a bit to get stuff.

I've uploaded the folder and set the file permissions according to the instructions in the Wiki.

Now when I go to http://www.der-warst.de/getsimple/admin , I get presented with an ugly login form instead of the installation form.
I've tried a few things with the .htaccess file with no results so far. What am I doing wrong?

If this is a common thing and I should have found it with the forum search, which I haven't, please tell me so or forward me to an already existing solution...

Thanks a lot,
Simon

you do not have php running on your server it seems

There is php 5.2.17 installed and it works flawlessly with several scripts on my site.
It came up with the login screen only after I modified my .htaccess. Before I did that, I got a parse error in line 28 of common.php.

Here's what it looks like now:

Code:

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
Options -Indexes

# blocks direct access to the XML files - they hold all the data!
<Files ~ "\.xml$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>
<Files sitemap.xml>
        Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    Satisfy All
</Files>

RewriteEngine on

# Usually it RewriteBase is just '/', but
# replace it with your subdirectory path
RewriteBase /getsimple/

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule /?([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)/?$ index.php?id=$1 [QSA,L]

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php

I thought that would do the trick, but apparently, it didn't.
Hm.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

I can see php code in my browser, so it is not working for .php files.

Which is very odd

Never mind, I figured it out. My provider had a new option introduced where you have to manually choose which version of php your site is using. I wasn't aware of this.
It's working now. Exciting.
