A: Jisko is not a CMS (Content Management Source), which means there's no admin panel (yet). So you have to edit the database to administer users & notes Q: I'm having trouble with Jisko, I see a 404 error every time OR I see the same page every time A: Try removing "#" in the line 28 of config.php. If that doesn't fix the problem, contact us at https://answers.launchpad.net/jisko or admin@jisko.net Q: I see a lot of Warning PHP errors in the page A: Contact us at https://answers.launchpad.net/jisko or admin@jisko.net Q: How can I set up the Jabber Bot? A: You need a Jabber server & account. Check Google for more information. Q: How can I set up the invitations system? A: Because Jisko is not a CMS, you have to mess with your database. Once you have removed the '#' from the line 95 of the config.php file, you have to browse the users table and then modify the column "invitations". If the number gets higher than 0, the user will see the option to send invitations to emails in the sidebar Q: I see everytime a message "Input file no specified." A: Remove "#" from the line 7 of .htaccess file. If that doesn't fix the problem, contact us at https://answers.launchpad.net/jisko or admin@jisko.net Q: ÀWhat's the number between the parenthesis at the footer?
