i was setip the silver stripe cms yesterday, and i try to add in the blog module, i just follow the video guide that provide at the tutorials, but in the end my blog still can not work.

can any tell me that i am wrong in any step here.
1. upload the blog module to my linux hosting.
2. unzip it at the CMS folder and then there will have a new blog folder in cms folder, am i right?
3. go to my website link like www.myname.com/db/build?flush=1
4. will go to the database creation page
5.refresh my admin page then will saw my blog link at the left hand sidebar

if above the step i correct, then why my blog page still no work?

any one can help me on this.

, then why my blog page still no work?...

Can you expand more on your problem?

2. unzip it at the CMS folder and then there will have a new blog folder in cms folder, am i right?

I think this is where you are going wrong. the "blog" directory should be a sibling of cms, not inside it. Make sure it is on the same level as "cms", "sapphire" and "jsparty" directories. Once you've confirmed this is correct, you can then go to the db/build?flush=1 link.

Hi
I've had a problem as well. "blog" is in the right place but get an error in install.Having gone
through about 250 lines of install the following message appears.

Error
The website server has not been able to respond to your request.

Is it a permissions problem ?

gkinane: Try adding this to your _config.php:

Director::set_environment_type('dev');

This forces the site into "dev" mode, which will show all errors instead of just a message saying "there was a problem".

After you've set the site to "dev" mode, try refreshing where the "website error" occurred, paste in the error into here so we can see exactly the error that's occurring with the blog module.

Error below. I also tried to add Gallery as you will see with similar results.

The error means your MySQL user doesn't have access to alter the SiteTree table. I would suggest checking your host to see if you can gain privileges for altering tables for your MySQL user, or - if it's your own server, you could try yourself. An easy way to give a MySQL user permissions is to log into phpMyAdmin, if you have it, and use the "Privileges" menu.
