how can i make the URL shorter?

[kolbester]

How do i make the URL not include create.php or home.php and make it shorter?
i have shorty installed in a dir under the main domain....domain.com/shorty
the domains i get are either:
http://domain.com/shorty/home.php/shorty/something/
or
http://domain.com/shorty/create.php/shorty/37866/

how can i get it to do something like
http://domain.com/shorty/something or http://domain.com/shorty/37866

Thanks

It should be the form of http://domain.com/shorty/something or http://domain.com/shorty/37866 already.
So obviously something went wrong. Are those shorty URLs working?

oops---i had not tested the shortened URL's---but you are right they do not work.
I get
"You need to enter a url, silly."
The install is fairly straightforward so can't figure out where i goofed but obviously goofed somewhere!

"You need to enter a url, silly." message happens when you create a shortened URL without putting the destination URL ("1. Enter URL" field.)
Are you saying that when you click already shortened URL, you get that message?

[kolbester]

yes, when i click on a shortened url i get the "silly" error.
thanks
