I'm a total beginner for php and cms i heard lots of good about plone.Their website is a bit poor of documentation(I didn't understand how to startup building a site ... )I will look better but i need an easy configuration tutorial on building a plone site for dummies also considering i know no php and i'm sure it's easier than what it looks like ....

Plone is not PHP, it is Zope with python. The learning curve it pretty good. The documentation for Plone is pretty lacking too. I set up a couple sites at work using Plone and had a very hard time with it compared to a PHP set up. I even bought a couple books and they showed the basics but nothing that dug deep into plone.

Plone also takes a pretty good hardware to run fast (2 gig cpu and 1 gig ram). All my machins have 500mhz to 800mhz and it ran really slow for me.

If you are looking for a how to, to install Plone. This is the one, http://plone.org/documentation/how-t...0from%20source . Just follow it to the T and you'll be alright.

If you are looking for a simple PHP CMS, try Joomla. I like it for personal and small business sites.

If you are looking for a PHP CMS that has everything, Tikiwiki is the one. I think if you look hard enough there is a kitchen sink in it, lol.
