Hi there,

New to silverstripe, and have just followed through the tutorial, but when I get to the last part on tutorial1, I create the HomePage.ss file, but I can't see the option in the dropdown menu for my homepage

Is there something else I need to be doing?

I've tried adding flus to the end of my admin panel like so, but it still doesn't show:
http://mydomain.com/index.php/admin?flush=1

thanks,

Thanks Willr, I've added the HomePage.php file, however I still can't see homepage in the dropdown menu.

I've tried doing this part: "We can do this by going to http://localhost/dev/build?flush=1. "

but I'm having no luck, when I try this I get a 404 because I don't have a dev folder in the root. I do have a dev folder here: /sapphire/dev/build?flush=1 but that also doesn't do anything because I don't have a file called build.

I'm feeling a little lost! any help would be much appreciated

my homepage php contains the exact text from the tutorial:

Well this is what I thought, however my host tells me that mod_rewrite is enabled, and showed me a screenshot to prove that it is enabled, so I don't know what is going on

Would mod_rewrite stop my homepage.ss from being shown in the dropdown menu though?

Hi again - I've just dealt with my webhost (webhostuk.uk.net) who have been awesome, and fixed the problem for me.

they say that the problem was with my htaccess file not being correct, and they took the one from the SS directory and replaced mine, and now all seems to be ok.

I'm not sure if this is something that should happen automatically or not, and they say that mod_rewrite is always enabled by default on their servers, so I'm not sure if the problem was with the SS install or something I did wrong.

But basically, replacing the htaccess file with the one in the SS directory solved the URL rewriting, and enabled me to do the dev/flush which has let me view my other page templates

now to get stuck into silverstripe!

edit: here is what my htaccess file now looks like
