After installation on localhost the links are broken, only the home page works

[dodo007]

Hello guys, i'm new to Elxis CMS, i just installed the first site on my localhost with wamp server and i'm having trouble making it work. I installed the site in a subfolder on my localhost like http://localhost/elxis and this is the way i can access the home page.

It looks great but when i click all the other links in the navigation I'm redirected to the http://localhost because it seams that the links in the navigation are broken.

I'm using the new version of the cms and the .htaccess file is named correctly i think.

Please help me find out where the problem so i can start working on my project.

Thanks.

Hello dodo007 and welcome to Elxis,

It sounds like you did not edit the .htaccess file.  Open that file and change the line from RewriteBase / to RewriteBase /yoursub/
then save.

Than you it worked perfectly 

The problem now is that the back-end administration does not work, i can't create users, i can't login to the administration area. When i tried to create a user it says Your request dropped for security reasons. Please try again., and when i try to log like an administrator it's giving me the wrong password message. I know the password is ok because i made a new user from my database to test if it will work but no success.

the htaccess

Advice: Don't create users manually. Use the administrator area only

[dodo007]

I can't access the admin area that's the problem

[xmanhattan]

When you installed Elxis, you were asked to create an administrator login and password.  That is what you will use by clicking on the administrator login from the front page menu.

[dodo007]

LOL i know that, there is a guide to change the password on the elxis page and i did like there is written i copied the encriptted password into the password field but it still does not work.

When i tried to create a user it says Your request dropped for security reasons. Please try again., and when i try to log like an administrator it's giving me the wrong password message.

Can you login from frontend? If yes, your username and password are fine. If no, then you must reset the password. In this case tell me to give you directions on what you must do.

If you can login from frontend but not from backend and you are sure your account is an administrator account allowed to access the backend (make sure you haven't ruined the user settings in database) then the a reason why you can't login is due to session misconfiguration (as you are in a sub-folder - have you configured htaccess properly?). Sessions might not work correctly if the administration path is wrong in htaccess. In your htaccess above you have wrong the rewrite base, did you miss-wrote this on purpose?

RewriteBase /elexis/
or ?
RewriteBase /elxis/

Also if you login in frontend when you visit backend does Elxis ask you for both username and password or just to confirm your password?

Have you enabled strict/insane security in Elxis configuration? Is there anything else you might need to tell us about your Elxis installation?
