Hi!

I have read a lot of Forum posts about this problem and tried all of the proposed solutions but I still havent been able to solve my problem. I have installed SilverStripe-v2.2.3 in the folder htdocs on my macbook pro running Mac OS X 10.5 with MAMP installed. During installation I chosed the tutorial option and i have created tutorial/code/HomePage.php

<?php
/**
 * Defines the HomePage page type
 */
 
class HomePage extends Page {
   static $db = array(
   );
   static $has_one = array(
   );
 
}
 
class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	function init() {
	parent::init(); 
}
?>

and tutorial/templates/HomePage.ss

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" >
	<head>
		<% base_tag %>
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tutorial/css/layout.css" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tutorial/css/typography.css" />
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tutorial/css/form.css" />
	</head>
	<body>
		<div id="Main">
			<div id="Header">
				<h1>&nbsp;</h1>
			</div>
			<div id="ContentContainer">
				<div id="Content" class="typography">
					$Content
					$Form
				</div>
			</div>
			<div id="Footer">
				<span>Visit <a href="http://www.silverstripe.com" title="Visit www.silverstripe.com">www.silverstripe.com</a>; to download the CMS</span>
			</div>
		</div>
		$SilverStripeNavigator
	</body>
</html>

and then i ran http://localhost:8888/SilverStripe-v2.2.3/db/build?flush=1 and http://localhost:8888/SilverStripe-v2.2.3/admin/?flush=1 in browser (FF) and now i can't find HomePage as a page type in the Admin-window. I have tried to move _config.php, HomePage.ss and HomePage.php to the mysite-folder and changed the $project to mysite in _config.php whith no success.

When I do the http://localhost:8888/SilverStripe-v2.2.3/db/build?flush=1 the result is

All in black text. I guess there is some problem with the database not getting updated or something like that. I hope there is someone out there who can help me with this problem. I like the SS admin interface and I would love to start using it, but if I don't get this problem solved I have to use another CMS.

create a file called _config.php and put it in the tutorial folder, it will solve I guess.

I have a _config.php in the tutorial folder

<?php

global $project;
$project = 'tutorial';

global $databaseConfig;
$databaseConfig = array(
	"type" => "MySQLDatabase",
	"server" => "localhost", 
	"username" => "root", 
	"password" => "root", 
	"database" => "SS_mysite",
);

// Sites running on the following servers will be
// run in development mode. See
// http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=devmode
// for a description of what dev mode does.
Director::set_dev_servers(array(
	'localhost',
	'127.0.0.1',
));



?>

I tryed to make the content in that to be just

<?php

?>

with no success.. Thanks for trying anyway :)

Thank you. That _config.php somehow solved it for me. I'm getting a warning for the Page class ocurring both in tutorial and in MySite folders. But my database got updated with my new pagetype.
