vB5 - install problems on localhost

[PET]

Hello,

I installed vBulletin 5. Or at least... I think I did.

I edited the config file in the root folder. Then the config file in the core/includes/

Installation was successful. It told me to go to adminCP or back to install.

On the adminCP page I get a coplete WHITE page. No title... nothing.

I managed to access the root of the forum. If I click LOGIN or SIGN UP in the top right corner I get this in the dropdown:

Not Found

The requested URL /vB5/auth/login-form was not found on this server.

If I click register I go here:

http://localhost/vB5/register

Ofcourse, the page does not exist.

If I click FAQ I go here:

http://localhost/vB5/faq.php

This also does not exist.


This are my paths to my forum:

$config['baseurl'] = 'http://localhost/vB5';

    // This is the url and web based path to your core directory
$config['baseurl_core'] = 'http://localhost/vB5/core';


// This will only be used if you wish to require https logins

// You will not need to change this setting most of the time.
$config['baseurl_login'] = $config['baseurl'];

    // If you do wish to use https for login, uncomment this line
    // Then fill in your https url.
//$config['baseurl_login'] = 'https://www.yourdomain.com/folder';


    //    ****** System Paths ******
    // These are the system paths and folders for your vBulletin files
    // This setting is for where your vbulletin core folder is
$config['core_path'] = 'C:\wamp\www\vB5\core'; 

Any ideas?

Thanks

AFAIK you need to escape \ in your Windows file path (on core_path) like \\:

$config['core_path'] = 'C:\\wamp\\www\\vB5\\core';

Yea I did that. Same problem.
It's like my instalation is incomplete.

c:\wamp\www\vB5\admincp\img\
c:\wamp\www\vB5\admincp\js\
c:\wamp\www\vB5\admincp\index.html

This is all my files/folders from the admincp.

Is this normal?

Did you upload the .htaccess file? What version of php/mysql are you running? Is suhosin enabled?

edit: and yes, there are only two directories (which have several files each) and one file in the main /admincp directory.

If you are using WampServer, you need to enable mod_rewrite on its task tray menu under Apache -> Apache Modules. This is disabled by default. Once you do that, Apache should restart and the rewrites should start working.

Yea I knew it had something to do with the .htacess file. I deleted it thinking that vBulletin will go on "default links mode" but I totally forghot about the rewrite_module.

Thanks
