Silverstripe would appear to be a great advance on a couple of other CMS's I have tried but I have already hit a couple of snags.

The first is that I the CMS link at the bottom of the page does not work and I can't seem to get back to page that allows me to set the theme. I have uploaded the 'Highway' theme and tried to install it but all I have now for my pains is this -

I did clear the cache and alter the code as directed, or made the attempt anyway.

If I can get past this little hurdle then I'm sure I can get moving again but at the moment I'm facing something of a blank wall.

Hi Will

Thanks for the response, I started right from the beginning again by reinstalling Silverstripe totally and working through the stages. Not quite sure what the sticking point was before but there are a couple of items which new/future users might find it useful to note.

1. The Highway theme unzips as a directory called 'highway' in which there is a sub directory also called 'highway'. It's this sub directory which needs loading into the themes folder on the server.

2. When flushing the cache you need to append '?flush=1' to the url and directory path. ie 'www.domainname/stripe?flush=1' not just the URL alone as instructed in the installation notes.
