Fresh Install - Keeps Redirecting to "install/index.php?step=finish"

[Blair Davidson]

Hello Current Flynaxers,

My name is Blair, I am a web developer with a moderate amount of web developing experience and I had a quick question about why my Flynax installation continues to re-direct to me to "install/index.php?step=finish" even after deleting this folder from the server.

Here is where I currently have installed Flynax: https://www.powerboatnation.com/classifieds/

Can anyone help me figure out what files I need to modify so that the index.php loads on "https://www.powerboatnation.com/classifieds/" without any issues...?

Hopefully I have made myself clear, I hope all of you are having a wonderful New Years! Stay to those resolutions, they are really important.


Sincerely,

Blair



edit: This is has since been fixed, I had to clear the cache of my website.

I guess the worst case scenario is that we redirect to "https://www.powerboatnation.com/classifieds/index.php" but this is not ideal.

I've also noticed that none of the files that would typically get installed such as "https://www.powerboatnation.com/classifieds/search.html" or "https://www.powerboatnation.com/classifieds/recently-added.html".

Like if anyone goes to visit my website "https://www.powerboatnation.com/classifieds/" none of the pages at the top navigation bar are working; they all go to 404 error pages. Aren't these supposed to be installed with the demo, or do I have to manually create them myself?

Very confusing.

Where would these files be located in a typical installation?


edit: LMFAO My hosting provider was actually able to help me with this issue relatively simple. I guess I don't know that much as a web developer! But I am LEARNING and that's what counts. Anyway here was the solution for anyone who installs their software not on the main-site of their public_html but underneath a directory like /classifieds.

Solution:

# The URL prefix to be used for per-directory
RewriteBase /classifieds

Earlier it was

# The URL prefix to be used for per-directory
RewriteBase /

Basically this was an issue of the .htaccess; very simple error but nevertheless annoying.
