Issue Installing
Installation and Configuration
Sounds like you're missing the
.htaccess file. When you unzip the download, on some systems . prefixed files are hidden.
I know on kubuntu I need to do alt+. to see hidden files.
Could be that. Check you have uploaded the .htaccess file from the jamroom package.
If not that, then need to make sure mod_rewrite is working on your server. They are the only 2 things that come to mind.
When you say you are "installing it on my own server", makes me question: does that install have a domain name like yoursite.com or are you installing it on the ip adresss ( 127.0.0.1 ) or are you using localhost ( http://localhost/ ) coz that may make a difference too.
When I setup a local install, I always use /etc/hosts and give my install a domain name even if that domain only works for my machine, its still better than an ipaddress or localhost.
