Change Magento CMS Home page

Question

I am using this groupon clone from contus

I am try to change the cms home page .Which as what i have observed can be found in

System > Configuration > Web > Default Pages

I tried changing the CMS Home Page .i chose the template that i made in

CMS > Pages

I am expecting the template to be loaded .and ugh after several tries, clearing the cache and even changing the Default Web URL into the templates URL Key .it didn't work

any suggestions?

Here's a screenshot of the default cms_home_page

I tried editing the config.xml in the

app\code\core\Mage\Cms\etc

I changed the default > web > default > cms_home_page node into the coming-soon URL key .Still didn't work

I can access the http://127.0.0.1/mg/coming-soon/ page and the http://127.0.0.1/mg/home/ page as well .I just wonder, why the settings i applied in the admin (and can also be seen in the db) doesn't work.

Answer 1

you can simply go to system >> configuration >> and click on the web which is left in your window under general.

than click on Default Pages and set CMS Home Page

Second thing, You have to do "enable" this page and you can do it from cms >> pages and click on the page which you have selected, than set status >> enable
