Login popup not appearing

installation
#1

Hi.

I have installed sitecake on my server. I unzipped the downloaded files and uploaded the sitecake folder and the sitecake.php file into my root folder (I am using godaddy shared hosting).

I’ve added an editable div to index.html and tried to login using http://mydomain/sitecake.php (mydomain being replaced by my actual domain!).

Sitecake is clearly doing something, as when I check back to my root file it has created four folders: images, files, sitecake-backup and sitecake-temp, however i’m not seeing a login box when I go to sitecake.php. I’ve disabled my adblocker and pop up blocker for the site in case it was something on my browser causing the problem, since sitecake is clearly loading when sitecake.php is clicked (because it built the new folders) even if I’m not seeing the login.

Please help!
Thanks so much

What can you see in borwser when http://mydomain/sitecake.php is accessed?
Also, you should check the PHP error log.

Thanks for the hint about the php error log - I’ll have a look at that just now.

All I see on accessing sitecake.php is my site’s index page, no error messages =)

Thanks so much for responding! =)

Hi @mather_kathy

Were you to resolve this problem? I just installed sitecake (version 2.3.4) and have the same issue (not showing a login dialog).

I checked my PHP log, as @nivancevic suggested, but it isn’t showing any related errors in the log.

Thanks in advance,

Hi again,

I now installed my website on a Linux server and all seems to be working fine.
Earlier I tried to install it on a Windows Server / IIS server.
Where I ran in many issues. It seems that either Windows is not supported (please communicate so, if this is the case) or my installation on Windows was not correct.
If it is the second, please document the Windows installation. It took me quite some time to get all the permissions etc right on Windows before I even ran into this login problem.
