I plan to use Bonfire 0.7 in my new project but I can't get to install it. I've downloaded the master package and unzipped it into the www folder of my Wamp Server. The landing page tells me to manually create database and set the config files. I've done it as required but when I click the continue button it redirects me to http://localhost/public which obviously gives the error The requested URL /public/ was not found on this server.
Is this an .htaccess problem? The site documentation says The web root should point to the /public folder. How should I do that? I know I'm doing something terribly wrong for which there might be a simple obvious explanation but what? Please help!
Edit: When I manually go to http://localhost/bonfire/public it redirects me to http://localhost/bonfire/index.php/install which is the same page as the landing page where clicking on continue button again redirects to http://localhost/public.
After a lot of head-banging I finally solved it by installing Bonfire on XAMPP instead of WAMP and is now working like a charm. Don't know if this counts as a solution at all but whatever. I don't know what kind of grudge Bonfire has with WAMP.
