I'm new to Umbraco. I just installed all the packages needed, and tried to explore the CMS to see how it works. I installed the runway homepage, but when I try to open some of the pages in the browser, I always get redirected to the Umbraco install pages. I tried also to click on the link (content->properties) in the CMS, and the same thing happens.
I installed it during the installation process. Yes, the contents seem to be published. If I go to the properties, there is a button saying "Unpublish", and there is no red star on the content icon in the CMS.
It will always be empty as the installation is not finished. Once the last step is complete the version number will be written as a value. Are you installing locally or at a webhost?
as far as I remember, I downloaded the web installer and then just chose Umbraco CMS. After that I installed the database and the packages through the installer pages. But it seems I've missed something. Don't know what.:) But the most important thing, it works now, and I can get on and learn Umbraco.:)
Runway pages don't work
Hi all,
I'm new to Umbraco. I just installed all the packages needed, and tried to explore the CMS to see how it works. I installed the runway homepage, but when I try to open some of the pages in the browser, I always get redirected to the Umbraco install pages. I tried also to click on the link (content->properties) in the CMS, and the same thing happens.
Can someone assist, please?
Thanks.
Hi Haris
What version of Umbraco are you using and did you install runway during the installation process or afterwards?
And are you sure the website has been published properly?

Hi Jan,
I installed it during the installation process. Yes, the contents seem to be published. If I go to the properties, there is a button saying "Unpublish", and there is no red star on the content icon in the CMS.
Hi Haris
Ok...that's seems a bit weird. What happens if you delete the "install" folder from the root?
/Jan
Hi Jan,
if I remove the install folder, then of course, I'm getting the "The resource cannot be found" error.
What version of Umbraco are you running?
And what toes this line say in the web.config under the <appSettings> section?
<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="4.5.2" />
(this is a sample of one of my local 4.5.2 instances)
/Jan
Well, I downloaded the latest version, but the app setting value for that key in web.config is empty:
Ok, so you're probably running 4.5.2 and it seems that the installation have not been completed properly for some reason...
try filling in the value of 4.5.2 and see if it helps. I really should.
/Jan
Good news. It works now.
Thanks a lot, Jan!
It will always be empty as the installation is not finished. Once the last step is complete the version number will be written as a value. Are you installing locally or at a webhost?
Ahh.. you're too fast ;-) Great it worked :)
Glad to hear that Haris.
I'm just puzzled that the value was not in there in the first place. As Simon is saying it should be if the installation was finished properly...
So out of curiosity I would like to hear where and how you did the installation :-)

Hi Jan,
