Frequently Asked Questions

What is ContentCourier?

ContentCourier is a modest attempt to build a generic, programmable system for creating a web site from multiple content sources.

How do I manage my content?

However you want. The idea behind ContentCourier is to provide a simple framework for delivering your web site content. ContentCourier is not a content management system.

What about comments? What about tags? What about feature-X of my current CMS? It seems like it would be a lot of work to re-implement all that functionality with ContentCourier.

You’re absolutely right, it would be. If you need a quick install instant “community” then ContentCourier is not for your (or for your boss). If, however, you’re interested in creating a web presence where you create the web experience is, then ContentCourier may be for you.

Woah, nothing’s working. The index.php file comes back blank, but all my configured URIs are giving me Apache 404s

Check that

  1. Your server is configured to use .htaccess files
  2. That the .htaccess file has been uploaded to your system

Since .htaccess is a hidden file, it’s easy to miss.
