If you want a very easy CMS look at www.xoops.org. I installed it in an iBay in less than a minute. Very slick and very configurable.
To install in an iBay, first create the an iBay. I used xoops. Download the the tarball into any work directory and extract it with tar -zxvf xoops-2.0.2.tar.gz. Change into the extracted directory with;
# cd xoops-2.0.2
Copy all files to your xoops iBay with;
# cp -Rf * /home/e-smith/files/ibays/xoops
Create the database with;
# mysqladmin create xoops
Create user and priviledges with;
# mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 12187 to server version: 3.23.41
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> grant all on xoops.* to xoops@localhost identified by 'yourpassword';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> quit
Bye
Use your browser and go to www.yourdomain.com/xoops and the install will start automatically. Use the database name, user and password used in creating the database and voila!

Nice Chaloner :-)

Chaloner, what are you using for your site's main web page? XOOPS, GEEKLOG or one of the nuke variants?
-
To tell you the truth I forget. I think it is Geeklog but I would have to check. It has been quite some time since touching it....
I will say that when I have time I think I would be inclined to play with Xoops... and covert one mess to another...

Don't forget to delete the "index.html" in the created ibay ... ;-)
