Hello jmg

I installed discourse in the Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64 bit, EasyEngine(Wordpress framework, php7 and lets encrypt)

Installationa have no problem but I couldn’t login through discourse, so I need comment for solving problem. How can I use discourse subfolder without any problem?

I can access through radioheaven.co.kr/forum but the initial page have so image like normal installation. And I can’t activate the account by the process.

Thank you so much of your comment!
