William Bonney	Friday 04 April 2008 7:31:39 am Hello, I'm very new to ezPublish. I've installed it (v. 4.0) on linux without any problem but it seems that the default installation comes with some content already stored in it. Further more, some of the already stored sections (Products , Partners, Solutions, Training, Support) are not available on the front end. I've downloaded the technical an user PDF manuals on the documentation section but I can't find anywhere something helping me on this... So, is there a simple way to active those sections so that they be available on front end ? And is there some documentation explaining how to build a new site with nothing pre-loaded ? Many thanks !

Hello,

I'm very new to ezPublish. I've installed it (v. 4.0) on linux without any problem but it seems that the default installation comes with some content already stored in it. Further more, some of the already stored sections (Products , Partners, Solutions, Training, Support) are not available on the front end.

I've downloaded the technical an user PDF manuals on the documentation section but I can't find anywhere something helping me on this...

So, is there a simple way to active those sections so that they be available on front end ? And is there some documentation explaining how to build a new site with nothing pre-loaded ?

Many thanks !
