Hi,

I installed Websitebaker for the first time.. Followed the steps from the manual on the website.. But when I try to create my first new page it keeps saying: A page with the same or similar title exists
I already did a re-install, I thought maybe something went wrong, but also with the new install, when I try to create the first page it keeps saying the same...

Does anybody knows what went wrong and how to solve it?  huh

Version: WebsiteBaker 2.8.2 [R1528] including ServicePack 2

I've run into this before and was puzzled too.

Did you change the "Pages Directory" from the default "pages" to blank?  I do this, as I don't like the "pages" folder in the URL's of my sites.

But one (there are others, but I have never had any other issues) issue is that you have to watch what you name your pages, as you can't use any name that is already a folder in your root directory... "admin, media" for example.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply!

No, I didn't change anything, just followed the installation steps on the website, but ran into this problem when I came to the step: create your first page...  I've tried maybe a few dozen names, but no luck...

Websitebaker lookslike it is exactly what I was looking for.. Hope that there will be a solution..

Have a happy new years eve!!!

what are the names you have tried for your sites?

the error means, there's still a file with the same name in the (default) "pages" directory

Thanks for reply-ing!

Uhmmm, just random words like: hello, hi etc.. also names like: esther, jamae etc, only random letters like: asdfghjkl, but also words like: home, index, etc...

I've tried so many words that I've run out of them.. lol
I've opened the pages directory on my server and I don't see any pages apart from index.php

check the Filesystem Permissions in the options of WebsiteBaker (Advanced).

maybe you should check the CHMOD (permission) of the pages folder

To create a page with the name "index" is not good, cause this overwrites the original index.php in the pages directory. Please upload the pages/index.php from the original WB-package to your host.

If you additionaly set the pages dir to the root (in settings of WB) maybe also the index.php in the root of WB is overwritten. If this is the case please restore this file too.

Have you access to your database? If yes, please compare the pages table with the files in your pages directory. For each name in the table there must be an equal file in the pages directory. Please delete all lines in the pages table, where you don't have a file in the pages directory. Background is, when you create a page and you have no write access to the pages dir, the entry in the database table is generated without also generating the needed file in the pages dir.

On some servers setting permissions with ftp to 777 causes that you don't have write permissions. So not even to low also to high settings can be wrong. Ask your hoster, wich permissions you should set with ftp to get write permissions from php scripts.

There are two places where you can set permissions. With your FTP-Client and from the WB-Backend. I strongly recommand to let the permissions in the WB-Backend untouched and only change permissions with your FTP-Client.

Hope this helps

Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Thank you for your reply.. I've uploaded the original php file back to my server, and changed the pages file to 755 (777 was not allowed from my hoster, 775 is)
I didn't change permisions in the WB backend, but It's still not possible to create a new page.. I still keep on getting the same notification..

So, no luck..

I've tried a new install on another hoster, and it works..
So, I think this might have something to do with my hoster.. (www.hosting2go.nl)

Thanks everone for your responses and have a great 2012!!!
