As much as I find interesting the features that eZ Publish has, I find a pain in the [edited] its installation and setup. Maybe I must be missing something, but I think that there is something wrong or in the documentation or simply in the whole process. I failed miserably when trying to install it via setup wizard (I couldn't go further the database inizialization, like I posted in another tree). So I tried the manual installation, editing the site.ini file. After a few headaches due to the missing tables on the database (nowhere it's said that you have to load the kernel_schema.sql and cleandata.sql into the database) I have been able to login for the first time as admin. I played a bit creating sections, adding content, but now, I can't see the final result of all the changes I did, this is: the page like it should look when someone visits it. As soon as I go to the url, what I get is only the first page of the administration interface. Assuming that the manual installation went correctly (I can at least login as admin and user) I've tried to follow the building documentation, step by step. No luck again. It starts talking about a default "Plain" site, which is not installed. The folder settings/siteaccess doesn't contain any folder called plain, only admin. I don't know, the first impression is that the documentation seems clear, up to date, but it doesn't help you to achieve the obvious thing: to start building your site. Is there a clear way to do it?
