Hi,
I'm new to eZ Publish but have just managed to install it ok following all the steps. I then signed with what I thought was the admin password entered in one of those setup steps but I seem to be signed in as a 'user'.
How do I access the administration interface?
Thanks.

Hey

If I understand correctly you're looking for the URL to go to the administration interface. The path can actually be configured during the installation aswell and the default value varies depending on which template site you created.

You can find out by browsing to the following directory:

<your ez installation root>/settings/siteaccess

All the folders in there can be added as a path. For example if you installed the "news" template, you will have a folder called "news" and one called "news_admin". Now you can access your site with:

http://www.yoursite.com (for normal web pages)
http://www.yoursite.com/news_admin (for admin interface)

I hope this helps.
Chris

Thanks Christoph but unfortunately that didn't work.
My installation was to a directory called 'ezpublish-3.7.2' and when my url is set to
'www.fourthright.com/ezpublish-3.7.2' I get the user login ok. But when I set the url to
'www.fourthright.com/ezpublish-3.7.2/intranet_admin' I only get a 'page-not-found' error.
Is there a setting in the site.ini.append.php file I should be setting? If so, what?
Many thanks for your help.
John

Try
'www.fourthright.com/ezpublish-3.7.2/index.php/intranet_admin'

It looks like your mod_rewrite isn't configured, so leaving out index.php won't work.

PHP works in CGI mode, correct URL is with ? after index.php

www.fourthright.com/ezpublish-3.7.2/index.php?/intranet_admin/

Thanks both,
Lucasz - your url worked just fine. I know it's going to take me some time to get familiar with ezp.
Just on a final seperate note, in broad terms how easy/difficult is it to include user-written php scripts into ezp? I'm familiar with php and mysql and have written scripts which collect and manipulate data. Can I easiliy incorporate these into an ezp template. I plan to buy an ezp book but any help at this stage may save me time and effort.
Many thanks,
John
