yep, changing the APPPATH_URI and BASE_URI in constants.p fixed the problem.
according to the javascript settings in the 'view source' of the home page, they were both set to:
Code:
var APPPATH_URI = "pyrocms/application/";
var BASE_URI = "pyrocms";
so yeah, they were just missing the / at the beginning.
One thing i just noticed (though i may have not actually selected it), was that when i logged in and went to create my new admin account, i selected the 'role' as 'admin', filled in all the details, and then clicked on the create button.
When the users listing came up it shows my new user as 'user' instead of 'admin'
