Hi,

I have installed silverstrip via my ISP who offers it in their 3rd party section, got over an initial hurdle with an error which seems to be down to a too low PHP version now set at the highest level allowed. However when i try and access the CMS as th administrator all i get is a silverstripe logo in the centre of the screen, im expecting a menu system as shown in the help / tutorials.

Can anybody help me understand why this is and how i go about fixing it please?

Thanks

Kevin

Can you enable error logging and see if something is displayed there? Or look in firebug's network tab if an ajax reply is failing and prompting an error.

Thanks,

How do I enable error logging? Ive checked the tutorial but cannot find anything that relates to it? This is all very new to me.

Thanks

Kevin

See http://docs.silverstripe.org/en/developer_guides/debugging/error_handling/, the whole debugging section might be interesting ;)

Most php errors should be covered in your webserver's error log, normally under linux somewhere located under /var/log/. Ask your provider for more details.

Definitely javascript issue. The splash should subside after the left and main has set up. If it is not, then it's because the JS isn't firing to remove it.
As SS in 'live' mode combines the SS assets, I would check the permissions on assets/ to ensure that it's not something like 403 or the like when requesting the combined js file.
