Can not simplify admincp url path

[WhiskeyOSS]

I have a issue with the admincp only loading if i use this path /core/admincp it will not load if use the site url .com/admincp and If I make a change in the admin panel I get a page can not be found error I have checked my config file and the path in it is set to site url.com no trailng slash or anything else added to it..
the url for the site is set to the site url.com and the site url.com/server.php path is /home/whiskey/public_html
what am I missing ?

I get a weird ftp style directory when I use the site url.com/admincp

 Index of /admincp

Parent Directory img/ js/

Check your URLs in config.php.

[WhiskeyOSS]

that was the first thing I did and it is set at site url.com and nothing else if you would like to check this out your self I can send you the information

Maybe I should add that I am running this directly in the public_html folder I tried to do and Install in a public_html/subfolder but it would not find the core/install folders

and the fourms tab in the admincp wants to also go to siteurl.com/core

I got the main page to load but none of the links work they all have a unable_to_contact_server_please_try_again message Or a can not find page message...

Please post a copy of your root config.php file. Also, the .htaccess file is in your vB5 root directory?

That's not the default vBulletin .htaccess file - you need add the contents of the vBulletin one to your existing one if what you've posted is required on your server

[WhiskeyOSS]

So your saying I need to add this to the file in my root directory.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
# Redirect old install path to core.
RewriteRule ^install/ core/install/ [NC,L]
# Main Redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
# Because admincp is an actual directory.
RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

yep that was the problem you are a wizzard but I do not understand why it did not write this for one and or was It supposed to over write it in the install process the only thing not working is the link in the admincp to the home page
