Should I have done something else with it?

I have it open right now.

Yes.  I saw that checkbox.  Left it alone.  I saw no reason to complicate my life more than it already is.

Dale

If you check that you will see where its installed now in the Content manager installer later

I would recommend that you put the DazStudio App and the CMS onto your system drive, and put your content onto your external.  It is the easiest to support and the DS app is not that big.

It says its installed on /Volumes/Freeagent drive.

Which is where the application icon is.

oops theres a service file down near the bottom.  Strange the search didn’t find anything.

But its still not showing Smart content when I launch Daz.  Even after clicking on the start service

I had the app on the external so I could use it with may laptop when I wanted to.  Anyway.  I keep all my artsy apps there.  Photoshop gimp and so on.

Ok.  Let me try and install Daz in the macintosh applications folder.  Then I’ll restart the computer.  See what happens.

Do I need to change just the Destination Directory?  Or should I change the default Directory too?  I’d think not.  But I’m not positive

Thanks

OK, now you found it, check what the logs in vlogs says, and if you use the Start Content Manager Server.app, will it start?

No.  At least Daz isn’t showing the smart content.  The CMS says its started.

But I’ve moved past that point.  I’m trying to install Daz and the CMS into my applications folder.  Its already uninstalled the previous DS4.5

But it has me worried This CMS thing is giving me a warning that my previous Database might be deleted.  I’m not sure what should be in that box so I don’t loose something.

If your previous CMS wasn’t running then most likely there isn’t anything of value in it to worry about.  The CMS database will be regenerated after you reinstall your GenesisStarterEssentials to the matching set for 4.5.1.6

EDIT:  Make sure to point your content areas at your external.

Kendall

There is a “Reimport meta Data Here, use that of your database goes clean.

Ok.  Here goes nothing.

Ok.  The reinstall didn’t fix anything that I can see.

I restarted the computer.  And re-launched daz from its new location in the applications folder.  But still no smart content.

There was to errors during installation.  The first was a permissions error.  I’m running disk utility now to see if theres a problem.

There was also an error saying it was unable to perform a complete uninstall of Daz.

I’m repairing permissions now to start

Keep in mind that “Smart Content” won’t show anything until you install the GenesisStarterEssentials package for 4.5.1.6, start 4.5.1.6 and let it put the metadata into the CMS itself.

EDIT:  If you’ve already installed the 1.6 version of the GenesisStarterEssentials, then you’ll need to use the Content Library Tab to have 4.5 reload the Metadata as was outlined in a previous post.

Kendall

Well.  Where does that need to be installed?

Is the genesis starter essentials content?  or something else.  If its content it should already be there on the freeagent drive.  Shouldn’t it?
