I have solved the second problem. My site is up and running however there is one rather annoying hiccup. While on my site and in the Admin CP and the reset password email url, every link shows up like this in the browser:
http//jkcsim.x10.mx//admincp/adopt/add which of course is not valid, so I have to manually go in and change the url to the correct version, in this case:
http://jkcsim.x10.mx/admincp/adopt/add
Is there something I did wrong during the installation that may have caused this? and is there a fix?
