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.
