I just did a fresh install of Couch on XAMPP and got the backend up and running smoothly. However, when I first started making changes to my index.php file, this was the first thing I was met with:


Warning: require_once(myadmin/cms.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\xampp1\htdocs\index.php on line 1

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'myadmin/cms.php' (include_path='C:\xampp1\php\PEAR') in C:\xampp1\htdocs\index.php on line 1

I'm out of my element on this one. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi,

The error indicates that Couch is looking for a folder named 'myadmin'.
Are you sure you have renamed the default 'couch' folder to the ' 'myadmin' being searched for?

Thanks for your response KK.

I was a little thrown off by that. In the past I've installed couch without changing the directory to myadmin. However, when I did change it from couch to myadmin, I was just given a 404 error, even though my index.php file is in that directory. I'm sorry, I'm sure there is something obvious that I am missing, I'm just not sure what it is...

404 error -
perhaps you have prettyURLs on? (please check the config file).
If yes, please turn it off for now. You can enable it back once your site is ready.

PrettyURLs would require a valid .htaccess file which, very likely, is not present in your fresh installation.

Does this help?

Unfortunately that's not it. I have a hunch that it may be caused by xampp. I had to do a fresh install of it this afternoon. I just don't understand why it would be causing the issue if it was a fresh install.
