Frequently asked questions

How I get Clean URLs?

It looks nice if your URL is http://YOUR_NETWORK/blogs instead of http://YOUR_NETWORK/index.php?p=blogs
By default, Jcow v4 disabled "Clean URL" because some servers do not support rewrite_mod.
You can attempt to enable it by the following steps:
1. Open your "/my/config.php"
2. Find this line:
$ubase = $uhome.'/index.php?p=';
- Change it to:
$ubase = $uhome.'/';
Note:
After you have made the changes, click some links of your network. If you get a "404" error, you need to undo the above changes.

I cannot send invitation emails or receive notification emails

Please make sure your web server has the ability of sending out emails. You can test it by a simple PHP file: 
<?php
mail("YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS","test title","test content");
?>
Just replace the "YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS" with your own email address and run this file on your server.
If you are running Jcow on localhost, I'm 99% sure you can not receive email.
