Hey,

I want to test your plugin on my site, i instaled the plugin on my site [http://souls.funsite.cz/](http://souls.funsite.cz/) in configuration:

Discourse URL: [http://souls.funsite.cz/forumss](http://souls.funsite.cz/forumss) / i trying create a page “forums” nothing, so i try a empty link like forumss  
API KEY: site/admin/api 404 error

So i cant install this forum, i read your documentation and i dont understand, i need a ur 3rd party of hosting? It’s not free i think.

Any idea? Thanks.

Discourse is launched under GNU public license and it is 100% free. No threads attached and no payment for any feature. _ **All things are free.** _

Where did you try to install the discourse? Discourse does support only Ubuntu system and **does not work on any web hosting**.

And the discourse URL should be like discourse.funsite.cz with A record poinitng your ip addres of your discourse instance.
