I cleared the phpbb cache (again, after the normal instructions I did that too I thought... But I tried some things to make it work, I suppose that's the reason), and now the forum is working well  .
There is only one thing I hope you can help me with:
I already got a htaccess file, for my website (joomla cms system). When I pasted the generated htaccess code in the htaccess that already existed, it didnt work, gave a 404 error. So, temporarly I deleted the old htaccess and pasted the code given by the mod. Just tot test it. And that worked. But, I also do need the old htacces, so I have to combine them. But I dont know how, as my knowledge of htaccess isnt that much. I just pasted it below the excisting code. And tried some other things, but without result.
Would you might take a look at that please? And if so, can I pm it to you or...? |

walter,
you could post both your .htaccess files here if you want, so it may help others with the same problem in the future.

Hm, there are some things in the htaccess that not everybody has to see/know  . I will definitly let other people here know what the problem was, and how it was solved. For example if a command was stated/called twice in the same htaccess file and that caused the problem, I will report that here.
I hope you understand. |

| Oh sure, that's no problem. You can PM both of us if you want. I'm headed out the door to class, but I'll be back in a few hours. |

I see what you mean about some of the information you didn't want posted. I'm going to post parts of your .htaccess that aren't a security risk if you don't mind.
I noticed this area in your original .htaccess file, installed by Joomla:
| Code: | ########## Begin - 3rd Party SEF Section
############# Use this section if you are using a 3rd party (Non Joomla! core) SEF extension - e.g. OpenSEF, 404_SEF, 404SEFx, SEF Advance, etc
|
I think you need to comment out two of the lines that follow, like this:
| Code: |
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
|
And paste just this part of the generated .htaccess file at the end of your existing one:
| Code: | # Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>

Try that and let me know if it works. I've been wanting to put Joomla and phpBB on another site I'm working on, and if this works for you, I'll know what to do when I go to install it myself. 
Thanks,

| You mean as a subdomain? Or is that necessary? |

Nope, you can either use the .htaccess at the domain root level, or in the directory where it's supposed to be active.
The above .htaccess is meant to be installed in the root, together with other rewriterules, it can be handier to install it in the forum/ dir to avoid some confusion with other rewriterules.
It's as well possible to merge the two, but, without the .htaccess code, it's harder to give an hint so.
And the good thing is, the .htaccess generator can handle this case, if you submit once with the more option to yes, more option will show up, and one of them is the alternate location for when phpBB is installed in a sub directory. |

Coyote:
"I think you need to comment out two of the lines that follow, like this". I didnt really understand what you wanted. But I supose you ment that I should delete those lines. So I did. And I pasted that part of the htaccess that you gave me. But, the website worked well, only the forum did not. I got a 404 error.
SeO:
I tried that before, putting the htacces in my forum dir, but then it did not work. Now, after clearing the cache as you can read above, it did work.
So thank you all for the support |
