AFAIK, the uploading is not a problem anymore. You used to have to hack Image.php to pieces to get it to use Director::baseFolder()."/assets" instead of "../assets".

But now with the ASSETS_DIR constant, that's all been cleaned up.

amazing :) i will start playing with it and my new social modules and real time layout mutation systems hehe

I tried it with the ss_environment.php and the site is working now. But a silly question: how can I login to the administration? Should it be localhost/Baseinstall/admin or localhost/Somesite/admin? Both is not working. Get a 404 error :-(
Thanks for your help - again.

It should be Somesite/admin. It's really odd that you get a 404..
Did you modify .htaccess by any chance? How does Somesite/.htaccess look like?

I don't find the .htaccess file... I am administrator and I did the whole installation, but cannot see the .htaccess?!? Do I have to reinstall it?

you can just copy the .htaccess from another project or copy the following:

### SILVERSTRIPE START ###
<IfModule mod_dir.c>
DirectorySlash Off
</IfModule>

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.gif)|(\.jpg)|(\.png)|(\.css)|(\.js)|(\.php)$

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteRule .* sapphire/main.php?url=%1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

### SILVERSTRIPE END ###

#use this if you use svn
RedirectMatch 404 /\\.svn(/|$)

.htaccess Files are usually hidden by the filesystem. Open up a shell/console and navigate to the website directory. Then use the ls command with option -a (eg. ls -a) to show all files including hidden ones.

there is a .htaccess in folder BaseDir, that one I haven't touched. Then I have created a new .htaccess (copied from the reply before) in folder somesite. still got the 404 error :-(
