Hi,

I have just finished installing the Radiant as per the instructions on  
this link -

[http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/installing-on-site5](http://wiki.github.com/radiant/radiant/installing-on-site5)

I ran into a number of errors primarily due to my thickness and finally  
I got everything working… or so I thought.

Currently the styling on the demo site is broken. All the links (routes)  
are broken it seems.

Here is the link to my site - [www.sizzlz.com](http://www.sizzlz.com), which currently has only  
the default demo pages.

When I use something like [www.sizzlz.com/admin](http://www.sizzlz.com/admin) it just goes to the home.  
Actually if anything like [www.sizzlz.com/](http://www.sizzlz.com/)… goes to home and  
[sizzlz.com/](http://sizzlz.com/)… goes to about page!

Please help. Thank you very much.

Purna

After another round of fresh installation now every URL only serving the  
index page. I believe the problem may be how the routes or .htaccess is  
set up. I am using the default .htaccess that comes with installation in  
the “public” directory.

Please let me know if anybody has any thoughts. Thank you.
