Hi All I posted my problem in a thread that had already been solved. Duh!

I have uploaded the Jamroom 4 core open source files to my my domain server via Fetch
I get "index of" when i look at the url,there is no .htaccess file showing.

I followed directions at a fetch forum and followed advice there on how to show .htaccess files.

Does not help. File still did not show. What is it that i am not doing correctly .

Thanks.

You can change macOS to show hidden files in Finder:

Alternatively, upload the zip file and unzip it on the server.

You've got jamroom 6 there ( not 4 ) good.

Cant see the .htaccess file in your indexof.png screenshot. Thats the missing piece.

Also check that your server meets the requirements

Docs: "Server Requirements"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/getting-started/774/server-requirements

The full docs are here:

Docs: "Table Of Contents"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/contents

The thing that I'm guessing might be missing is the mod_rewrite on the server. If you HAVE uploaded the .htaccess and its still not showing the install screen, then that would be the next thing to check.

Ask your server company "Is mod_rewrite enabled on my server?"
