500 server error when installing & No file found - subdomain fix

[jazzyjamez]

Firstly, let me say this is a great tool and would be a great addition for someone like myself and many others. I cannot wait until its in stable build so I can really test it as there are a number of buds at the moment.

So I tried installing and kept getting 500 sever errors, I changed the name of the .htaccess file to htaccess.txt, the install then worked, but I then got "file not found" when I clicked on menu items at the top.

Change HTACCESS file to below

I have this warning when i went to install it : Warning: require_once(C:\wamp\www\cobalt_09-11-2013/vendor/autoload.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\cobalt_09-11-2013\src\boot.php on line 35

We may need to update our composer dependencies. I'll take a look today.

[dongilbert]

If you're getting "file not found" on "vendor/autoload.php", then you need to cd to the directory where it's installed, and run composer install

But i have this issue now when i type install url : Warning: require_once(C:\wamp\www\cobalt/configuration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\cobalt\src\boot.php on line 36

I have the same issue as xilibit when I try to install.

Warning: require_once(C:\wamp\www\cobalt/configuration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\cobalt\src\boot.php on line 36

Anybody working on this?

[xillibit]

Warning: require_once(C:\wamp\www\cobalt/configuration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\wamp\www\cobalt\src\boot.php on line 36

Just create an empty configuration.php file at root at cobalt installation and the error will gone
