I click create account and it either goes back to install.php or just does not have any page to continue to. I downloaded JR5 core am I missing something to get the jrElastic to work?

Take a look at your log in /data/logs/error_log

It should say if you are missing any files or if there is another problem with the server

thanks for responding but there is nothing in there but an .htaccess file. I used everything in the core package i dont know what could be missing but it looks like there is no main index.php in the root folder (if that's anything or not).

Jamroom doesn't have a main index file.

Do you have the .htaccess file uploaded in the main directory your installing Jamroom in?

There's no index.php with JR - the front controller is actually modules/jrCore/router.php, and the .htaccess file in your main JR directory will route things there properly, so double check that you have uploaded the main .htaccess file into the JR root.

Hope this helps!

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. Ok I'm positive it's the htaccess file after what you guys stated. I do have one in the root and this is what's inside.

Mind you, I had to use htaccess to get PHP 5.3 since my server host was on 5.2.
//
# Use PHP 5.3
Action application/x-hg-php53 /cgi-sys/php53
AddHandler application/x-hg-php53 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
//

Ok, I see the problem. the htaccess file i downloaded from the core package is modified on the server. It was blank when i uploaded probably because it didn't overwrite the old one already on the server.

Yeah it looks like you might need some custom stuff in your .htaccess for your hosting, so just add the existing stuff in your existing .htaccess:

Action application/x-hg-php53 /cgi-sys/php53
AddHandler application/x-hg-php53 .php
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

To the top of Jamroom's .htaccess file, and that should work.

Hope this helps!

ok tried it again but after i click install it formats links like this mysite.com/mysite.com/createaccount (example) and the css isn't shown on the finish install page either.

Is it how im typing in the system url? I assumed it would be mysite.com

The URL should be automatically detected - did you install JR into the your root directory, or a subdirectory called "mysite.com"?

Thanks!

Hey Brain, thanks for replying.

EDIT: "It's Alive!" lol. Finally, thank you all for your support! I'm an old jamroom user and jr5 i see is very different and I love the change. It has taken me nearly 3 days to get the site up! That's not like me XD
