i’m currently trying to install GetSimple CMS to test it, but it seems there’s a problem with installing on my mac (localhost).

i never had any problems with WordPress, Codeigniter, CakePHP, or even Rails.

this is my root for researching new framework/code/library/etc

and when i clicked the GS link, i quickly realized that the link for GetSimple installation page has an error

 

 

the root url changed when i clicked it! but when i go back to the first link to the GS folder, it shows the correct URL.

so the easiest solution i found was to change the url directly to http://localhost:8888 from http://localhost

and indeed, the installation completed without any problems. and so i thought so..

when i clicked on the page main title, or generally called the “logo” section, it sends me to http://localhost/research/GetSimple/ page *gasps*

yeah, the root url still points to localhost.  -_-

to fix this, i googled and found the answer. *hurrayyy*

go to the right section on the admin page, there is the “Settings” button

after you clicked the button, you will be sent to the Settings page. there you will find “Website Base URL”

 

 

 

you’ll need to change the value from localhost/ to localhost:8888/ as in the picture below

 

 

 

 

even though there’s a suggestion from them, ignore it, because we’re on a local server on MAMP.

voila! click the page title, displays the correct page.
