I have been able to successfully install an instance of laconi.ca that seems
to be running fiine. However I have two major issues with the current
installation :


   1. Twitterfeed - I have not been able to makemy installation work with
   twitterfeed. With my instance installed on the root I have have have put the
   correct url and the api location. However when i try to test laconica
   installation it gives me an error. However I created an api folder and
   loaded api.php to it as a modification. It seems toa authenticate the
   username and password but Im not receiving rss feeds on my site. Could it be
   becuase I have not set up the fancy URL feature on my server.
   2. My installation does not seem to be working with twihirl . Im getting
   an error .

Please advise on how I can get these to work.

Kind Regards
Kevin
