    On the Sys Config page inside the ’manager’ directory, I see three boxes that ask for page IDs...

    -----
    Site start:

    Error page:

    Unauthorized page:
    -----

    What am I supposed to put inside these three boxes?

    Please help.

    Thanks,

      The document IDs of the pages you want to show when those events occur. For example, the Unauthorized page might be a document that contains a login form. The site start page is the page you want the user to see when he first comes to your site. The error page might be a site map. By default, all three are just the first document... ID #1.

        What my question is... what is ID #1? What if the page I wanted to show was mysite.com/welcome.html

        How would I determine what ID# to replace the ’1’?

          If you look in the list of documents you have created you see a number after each document.

          That is the number you can put as ID#.

          If you create a page called welcome and that doc gets number 5, then you put 5 as site start and that’s the page new visitors will arrive to.

          At a clean install it is set to 1.

            Thanks for both replies. Now it makes sense.

            One last question... how do I navigate back to the page where this can be set?
