Can not Login or enter Blogs/Groups after installing - Config Problems?

[Anton Wiklund]

Hi,
I'm trying to install vb5 on a localhost with wamp.
I got it installed but for some reason I can not enter the login module, blogs or groups.
On the blogs and groups page I get the "404 Not Found" error.

I guess I got something setup wrong in my config file...

Here is what my config.php in root is set like:

// ****** Base URLs ******
$config['baseurl'] = 'localhost/vb5';


// This setting is for where your vbulletin core folder is
$config['core_path'] = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . '\core';

// This is the url and web based path to your core directory
$config['baseurl_core'] = $config['baseurl'] . '/core';

Please try 'http://localhost/vb5' for $config['baseurl'] and realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) .'/core' for $config['core_path']. Did you upload the mod_rewrite file (.htaccess for apache2, web.config for IIS)?

[Anton Wiklund]

Thank you for replying Hartmut.
I made the changes in the config file, but I still have the same problem.

I have uploaded both the mod_rewrite file and the htaccess file. (I have not made any edits to them..)

When I set the $config['core_path'] = realpath(dirname(__FILE__)) . to be: 'C:\wamp\www\vb5\core';
I get following error - see image.
not sure if that can help..

Naa, don't do that and keep it like I wrote in post #2. So when you did the changes in your frontend config.php, you still had the problem that you couldn't login? Can you login into AdminCP at http://localhost/vb5/admincp?

[Anton Wiklund]

Ok. Yes still the same problem. When I enter that url I only get an index showing:

	Parent Directory		-
	img/	16-Oct-2012 17:11	-
	js/	16-Oct-2012 17:11	-

Do you think a re installation will help?

[Hartmut]

I believe that there are files missing.

[Anton Wiklund]

I made a clean install with the zip downloaded from the members area, but still the same problem
(The installation is 31mb have 3 268 files, 515folders)

mod_rewrite is not enabled in WampServer by default. Please make sure this is enabled on the WampServer System Tray Utility... Apache -> Apache Modules. Check Mod_Rewrite. Then restart Apache.

Thank you Wayne! That solved the problem.
I would never figure that out myself, thanks a bunch for the help!
