I had a foo folder in the root directoty but now I cannot access it in the browser after installing mooSocial. What happened?
It's because mooSocial redirects all requests to app/webroot folder so you will need to move your foo folder to app/webroot if you want to access it in the browser (e.g. yourdomain.com/foo)

Whenever I submit a form or login, it redirects me to yourdomain.com/somecontroller/yourdomain.com. What do I do?

How do I integrate Facebook registration?

Adding “RewriteBase /” after “RewriteEngine On” in all three .htaccess files might fix this problem.
