Hey all,

So I know this sort of thing has been posted before but from what I can tell I have a pretty unique issue.

I recently installed SilverStripe on XP and got the main CMS up and running, however I have not yet been able to get a single module work, theme or otherwise.

So here is what happens, I:

- Download the tar.gz and unpack it using 7zip into the themes folder.
- I then go into the mysite folder and open up the config file in notepad
- I change the SSViewer::set_theme('themename'); line.
- I visit my site and attmept to use the ?flush=1 line in a number of different places. (my site is located at http://localhost/silverstripe/ and no matter where I put the ?flush=1 piece i get the following error. I have checked the theme directory and turned off the read-only setting in case it was part of the permission issue.

[Warning] file_get_contents(c:\inetpub\wwwroot\silverstripe/themes/higherground/templates/Page.ss) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied
GET /silverstripe/index.php?flush=1

312 		if(isset($_GET['debug_profile'])) Profiler::mark("SSViewer::process", " for $template");
313 		$cacheFile = TEMP_FOLDER . "/.cache" . str_replace(array('\\','/',':'),'.',realpath($template));
314 
315 		$lastEdited = filemtime($template);
316 
317 		if(!file_exists($cacheFile) || filemtime($cacheFile) < $lastEdited || isset($_GET['flush'])) {
318 			if(isset($_GET['debug_profile'])) Profiler::mark("SSViewer::process - compile", " for $template");
319 			
320 			$content = file_get_contents($template);
321 			$content = SSViewer::parseTemplateContent($content, $template);
322 			
323 			$fh = fopen($cacheFile,'w');
324 			fwrite($fh, $content);
325 			fclose($fh);

I experience similar issues with modules as well. I cant seem to get the /dev/build?flush=1 to work. I'm not even sure I putting it in the right spot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

One odd thing is the url - it uses \ as well as /. That could be affecting something.

Does that apache user (or www-data) have the correct permissions for reading the file (try but setting to chmod 777 the template file, reload to see if that fixes it, then work backwards as you shouldn't need it 777).

Okay so I tried yet another theme and I continue to get errors. My most recent attempt involved the following Livis theme which is attached. I have compared both the Livis directory and the blackcandy directory and see no differences really, why wont these work!?!

Here is the error I am getting:

Any help would be great. I am so confused. Is it a naming thing. I know you are supposed to put the name in the SSViewer line but is that just the name of the directory or could it be wanting something else?

Okay, an update...

I was able to install the Blog module and have finally figured out the correct way to use /db/build?flush=1 but I am still having trouble with Themes. I attempted once again to install and activate the same theme as above, but am getting a different error now. It is as follows, and is the same as the error code shown at the top of this post.

I have the CMS installed on a Windows XP Machine running IIS, MySQL, and PHP 5. I have a feeling it is just a permissions issue but I have no idea how to "777" or "766" a directory in windows as I do I Linux. Anyone have any ideas to attempt to resolve this issue?
