Files installed, but can't move forward

Seems to me that the rewrite rules are not working properly.

If the .htaccess file is definitely in the /vb5 folder, you should ask your host why this is happening.

May be worth downloading a fresh copy of the package from the member area and uploading that first, just to rule out any corrupted files.

So your .htaccess and index.php files are in the vb5 directory together?

yes

.htaccess:

<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>


...
all I see in the /admincp directory is 2 more directories ... seems to me, apache is looking for an index.html or index.php

- - - Updated - - -

error log entry:

Cannot serve directory /var/www/virtual/vb5/admincp/: No matching DirectoryIndex (index.html,index.php) found, and server-generated directory index forbidden by Options directive

again I am back to apache looking for an index. file and VB not supplying one

Internal Server Errors are just that - server errors. You or your host will need to examine the server's error logs and take the necessary corrective action to resolve this.

What's your current .htaccess file content ? Also make sure to upload it in forum root directory /vb5

[jimrasor]

found .htaccess, installed it and reinstalled VB5, still get same result

tried to login as client with result:

I have seen comments requiring .htaccess, but I do not see the file in my download package

Most probably it's hidden.
In Windows:

Show hidden files



Here's how to display hidden files
and folders.

• 
  [IMG]mshelp://help/?id=Microsoft.Windows.Resources.ShellExecuteTopicIcon[/IMG]Click to open Folder Options.
• 
  Click the View tab.
• 
  Under Advanced settings, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives, and then click OK.

Installation of Beta 25 completed offering a link to admincp resulting in:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /vb5/admincp/ on this server.

If I change address to ..vb5/core/admincp I can get to the admin panel, but VB not functioning correctly, fails to create auth or user files.
