OK, calm down. You're not making it easy to answer your questions.
First of all:
1) You have PHP and MySQL installed on your computer?
2) You have completed the installation process?

If you have, you have to have your browser pointing to
http://localhost/html/ (assuming you installed it into the /html folder). Not pointed at mainfile.php. If you've installed correctly, you should see your site there.

Nobody is scolding anyone. This is an open source community and as such some research as to basic usage questions is up to you.

Now as for some of your previous questions. Mainfile.php is not the target file to see the content of your site. Mainfile.php is like XOOPS brain, it holds the site settings and should be made unwritable after installation.

In my signature you will see a link to a document called Xoops for Dummies don't let the name fool you it is an excellent document to start learning Xoops.

Also under the news items at the top of the page is one titled Xoops Tutorials, these tutorials use flash to show you some procedures to working with the website.

But check out Xoops for Dummies the Faq here on Xoops.org. and most of your questions should be answered.

I Hope this Helps.

umm.. I told you most of this in another thread as well, and by e-mail you asked for support (no, for solutions) too.

XOOPS has a learning curve and requires you to have at least some degree of understanding of how the internet, websites and contenet management works. That's just a fact. Also, I suspect that the local support site (chinese? taiwanese?) may provide a more efficient support for you. Check the Local Support sites list and see if your local support site is there.

Where did I say you don't comprehend english at all? If you read the replies to your requests, you'll notice people are having trouble understanding them (including myself). The local support sites are meant to provide support in your own language, making ti easier to communicate what it is you want and need.

As for having a degree in computer science, congratulations. But from someone with that level of education I would expect some more understanding on how the system might work, and the principles of setting up a website. But maybe I'm just wrong there, so don't worry about it.

So, I have thought first much more then you can probably comprehend, as I have a LOT more experience in helping people in this community. Your case is rare, I admit. Now, this is a community support site, so we expect you to help yourself as much as we can help you.
