Hi Steve

First make sure that you have the permissions to create any classes. Make sure that you are logged into EZpublish as admin and that the admin has the admin role assigned.

If this is not the source of the problem check whether you can see any of the content classes if you go to the tab setup, menu entry classes. This should show you a list of the available content classes, amongst them at least 'article' and 'folder'.
If you can see the names of the content classes here the way they should be the template for making the selectboxes for the 'create here' option might be faulty. The template responsible for creating these lists is \design\admin\templates\children.tpl so you might wish to check that.

Also enable debug output for the admin site. Do you see any interesting messages there?
If yes, please post them here.

If you cannot solve the problem this way and don't get any useful debug messages the problem might be caused by the your installation problems, maybe some settings were not created properly or so. So you should also consider making a clean install. Now that your php.ini settings are better and you now what to use for the database connection an installation should be much easier.

I also can tell you from experience that if your processor is slow, you want to have lots of RAM to compensate at least partially. Otherwise be prepares to wait a lot while developing with EZ. Once it is up and running, EZ might work ok on such a server but you definitely don't want to develop on this (as you usually don't use the cache while developing)

Claudia;

Thanks for the response. I looked at everything you recommended and saw nothing unusual, nor saw any errors being returned in "debug". But with little experience in looking at this, I'm could have overlooked something.

The final result was that I ended up doing a fresh install. With the new PHP parameters in place, everything ran to completion and surprizingly fast now that PHP had some resources to work with. Everything appears to be working normally at first glance.

I appreciate the response and help.
