PHP/MySQL CMS recommendations wanted

[obuwebco]

I am firing up a new community site for a client. I am seeking recommendations for a PHP/MySQL based CMS. I Have used PHPNUKE 7 on an exisitng site. I am not overly pleased with it. Anyone have any experiances with other CMS systems, like e107, Xoops, CPGnuke, etc.

Please share your thoughts and comments on other CMS's you have used.

Thanks.

I would suggest you visit opensourceCMS.com. Take a look at the various options, try out some of them for yourself, usually it's the 'ease of use' of the backend functionality that is the deciding factor. With opensourceCMS, you can try out the software before you install it... so it's well worth a visit.

As for recommendations, I've been told Mambo is very good, particularly for newcomers to CMS, I'm sure other members will have their own favourites.

Also, if you have your own set of requirements, you may find The CMS Matrix useful to compare one system against another. You can select up to 10 different CMS's for comparison using the site's matrix.
