So,

Webserver handles // properly. I had to create a folder under http://www.speedylines.com/webroot/img and copied the img directory there.

So this ".js" issue with respect to the calendar icon and the map icons required me to do the following as a workaround until the latest fixes come through:

http://www.speedylines.com/img/calendar.png
http://www.speedylines.com/webroot/img/*

and I installed cake at:
http://www.speedylines.com/cake

and I installed zuluru at:
http://www.speedylines.com/cake/zuluru

And the site you need to goto for zuluru is:
http://www.speedylines.com/cake/zuluru

My install.php is found earlier in this thread so I am not sure if there is something in there that I should be altering...

Thanks,
Nick

It seems, based on the presence of things like cake and webroot in your URLs, that there's something less than ideal about your overall web server configuration.

The simplest setup, and what is assumed by the default config/install.php, is for Zuluru to be installed all alone in a domain (example.com) or subdomain (zuluru.example.com), where the web server is configured to serve that domain or subdomain from the .../cake/zuluru/webroot folder. (In Apache terms, the DocumentRoot is .../cake/zuluru/webroot. I don't know any other web server software well enough to say what the equivalent option there would be.) If you do it this way, then the folder for images really is just /img/ and everything works smoothly out-of-the-box.

If you are in a situation where this isn't an option (e.g. you want to run Zuluru from a subfolder like example.com/zuluru, or you're on a cheap shared host where you can't change the document root), then setup gets more complicated. There are far too many such situations for me to be able to give comprehensive install help for all of them. They will require some level of server admin expertise and ideally also some knowledge of how CakePHP directories are structured (though the CakePHP site has some examples that can help you through it). If you don't have that kind of expertise available to you, I can help with getting you up and running, and there have been cases where this help has been free, but depending on the complexity and limitations present in your hosting situation I do sometimes need to charge for it.

I can always create a subdomain zuluru.speedylines.com as I have several on my webhost. That might just do the trick... for now, the extra folders I created leaves things a little messy, but it works...
