When I click the "Go there now" link after entering and submitting the basic site creation credentials, I am served up the index page on the root level of the server, and not the default home page for the site I just created. In addition to this, I am not getting the email I am supposed to get after successful site creation. Since I am not a server administrator, I can only speculate that the problem might have to do with permissions not being set correctly and/or paths are not set correctly in certain files (such as .htaccess or httpd.conf).
A bit of context:
1) I work at a place where they use Windows servers and Coldfusion for all server-side programming. I convinced them to use Open Scholar (OS) for a faculty project because I have experience with LAMP and Drupal. They gave me a WAMP server to work with.
2) This WAMP server has a weak processor and very low memory.
3) I needed to change several things about php.ini (such as the max execution time setting) and the available resources for MySQL just to get OS installed.
4) The install is in a sub directory and not at the root, so I changed a line in the .htaccess file as directed to point to the install directory (in this case, /faculty).
How can I get sub sites I create to display the default site homepage, and not the default index file on the root of the server?

It's hard to tell. I'd suggest you install OS in your local machine and then compare things with the environment that you are given.
thanks!
homepage links
OK, so OS is correctly creating subsites in the directory I installed in (/faculty) - so a new site called "test1" is now accessible at /faculty/test1 - but the only problem is that the links to the sites in the featured area of the homepage are not including the subdirectory. So the link for "test1" is actually being written as "site.org/test1" instead of "site.org/faculty/test1".
I've already updated the Rewrite Base in the settings file - is there something else I need to update?
