My dolphin 7.0 installation and the 'm' directory.

I have installed (twice) the dolphin 7.0 system on my server.  All appears well until you try to go to most of the modules, either in the user space or in admin.  Most of the modules are being looked for at  :   http:/www.energy-howto.com/m/something.  All the modules are in modules/boonex and there is no such directory as 'm' .

Also, the menu offers 'Forums' which goes to http://www.energy-howto.com/forum - but there is no forum directory, either.

Can someone tell me what I may have done wrong?  Should i wipe the whole thing out and try again, again?

Thank You.

I would you suggest you look at your permission settings.

your looking for the "Permissions" section, try this

EDIT:

Also look at http:/www.energy-howto.com/administration/host_tools.php and make sure all your folders are "writable"

Thank you for the FAST response, Newton27!  I had just gone back over the permissions, one at a time when I posted my question, so I don't think that's it.  Also - the link you sent is a 404 page not found on the wiki...

ok on the permissions then, just a suggestion.

curious, the link works for me when I click.. here is the actual link http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/DetailedInstall

These directories do not exist because they are rewritten directories from the .htaccess file (e.g., /modules/boonex/forum/ is rewritten as /m/forum/). Make sure you have a .htaccess file in the root directory of your installation. Also make sure mod_rewrite is loaded in Apache.

Turns out I had no .htaccess file, so I'm taking care of putting one in.  That does make a difference   Thank you to  you both.

I'll get that fixed and see if it doesn't start working correctly.

I agree with Magnussoft. This is a mod_rewrite issue. It has nothing to do with permissions.

1) Make sure you uploaded the .htaccess from from the dolphin zip file. On some computers such as linux and Mac OSX this file may be hidden so make sure your computer is set to view hidden files.

2) Make sure your server has mod_rewrite enabled.

3) Make sure the apache web server is setup to allow overrides by the .htaccess file. This is a common configuration problem on dedicated servers as most servers are not configured this way by default.

I hate to see links on my sit ewith the  ( m )  and some time they  say     m/home/

can some one tell me how to stop this m coming with the links
